A relatively remote site with a range of hard landscaping finishes. W M Donald was also responsible for the substructures.
Congratulations to Jim Marshall, Brian Simpson and Austen Brooks for a well-run project.

These two photos highlight the transformational journey achieved by W M Donald and its clients in a short period of time. The first image was taken in March 2018 and shows the site in the early stages of enabling works. The second image shows the Stewart Milne properties completed and occupied six months later.
The snow is a timely reminder that care and attention should be paid to ensuring sites are left safe and sound over the Christmas break. Operations Manager, Ian Gray, asks all site teams to be mindful of the effects of winter:
‘Snow presents a significant health and safety hazard. Please make sure any holes are filled and materials are well-covered. Designated footways should be clearly marked. Conditions under foot could be slippy and it is important, as always, to have appropriate footwear. A safe site is a more effective and productive site.’

Interesting use of L-shaped pre-cast concrete retaining wall sections. A key challenge was the sequencing of the retaining walls and housebuilding to optimise productivity.
