A.C. Whyte is pleased to announce the commencement of significant external fabric upgrade works at Mill Court, Rutherglen, in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council. Secured through a competitive tender process, the project involves comprehensive refurbishment works aimed at improving both the appearance and functionality of the property.

The scope of works includes re-roofing, external rendering, window replacement, asbestos control measures, and fire-retardant systems for close decoration. Additionally, A.C. Whyte will install new security access doors and controlled entry systems, enhancing the safety and security of residents.

This project represents a continuation of the strong relationship between A.C. Whyte and South Lanarkshire Council, built on a history of successful projects. Lorna Preston, Client Relationship Manager with A.C. Whyte, commented:

We are delighted to further strengthen our partnership with South Lanarkshire Council, having worked closely with them for several years. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality solutions that meet the council’s standards and improve the living conditions for the residents of Mill Court.

As part of A.C. Whyte’s ongoing commitment to community benefits, the project also provided an exciting opportunity to engage with the next generation of construction professionals. In collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council, Developing the Young Workforce (Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire), and Calderglen High School, a recent work placement was delivered to expose young people to careers in construction, offering valuable hands-on experience and insight into the industry.

Work on the project commenced in September 2024, with completion expected in early 2025.
