Refurbishment works to the area of Wallacetoun, Ayr

Value £1,220,000
Term Jan 2017 - Aug 2017

On this project A.C. Whyte worked in partnership with the Energy Agency and South Ayrshire Council to deliver external wall insulation to 173 properties comprising a mix of social and private housing.  The works were carried out to flats in Kings Court, Limonds Wynd, Russell Drive and Philip Square in Wallacetoun, Ayr. The properties were tired and in need of rejuvination, the main focus of the project was to improve the energy efficiency and regenerate the area.  This project provided A.C. Whyte with the perfect opportunity to collaborate with both parties to deliver a true area based approach.

A. C. Whyte & Co. Ltd have delivered on budget, and with favourable weather conditions, they achieved practical completion four weeks earlier than programmed. The quality of workmanship has impressed our organisation, the Local Authority and residents alike with exceptional comments from all parties including local political interests.
