The New Build housing projects we have been involved with recently range from traditional new build housing for some of the country’s leading house builders to modern high rise flatted developments in Edinburgh, Dundee and elsewhere.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN, CDM CO-ORDINATOR: CITY QUAY, DUNDEE
City Quay is a £9.5m development of the former Panmure Shipyard on Dundee’s South Victoria Dock Road.The development comprises 73 units with the existing buildings and new build 6 storey apartments. The flats, formed in a steel frame provide a prominent feature to the waterfront skyline.

Project Engineer, David Hunt, said that one of the main issues that had to be addressed was the variability of the existing buildings with walls proving to be neither parallel, nor plumb!The Client for the project Unicorn Property Group, for whom we are currently working on a further £2.5m waterfront project to convert the historic clock tower building into luxury flats.

CIVIL & STRUCTURAL DESIGN: HUF-HAUS
McGregor McMahon Associates provide structural engineering support for the German Huf Haus organisation in Scotland. This involves checking and Certifying the different house projects and assisting with obtaining Building Warrants. The Huf Houses (pictured right) were featured on the Grand Designs Programme on Channel 4 and are becoming increasingly popular. Our client MacFarlane Homes have now erected two of these houses on their development at Rutherford House near West Linton and a further two will be commencing shortly. These houses are not only visually striking but are also being built to the highest environmental standards with ground source heat pumps, grey water reuse and SUDS. The project was recently featured in the Scotsman and Guardian newspapers.
