Scope

Working with Inverclyde Council, A. C. Whyte & Co. Ltd was employed as Main Contractor for the refurbishment of three fifteen-storey blocks of flats. The regeneration works carried out vastly improved the appearance of the blocks, which are a focal point in the landscape of Port Glasgow. Furthermore, the external wall insulation system installed on the blocks, will improve the thermal performance of the buildings and through time tenants should benefit from a reduction in fuel bills.
