NHBC Pride in the Job is a national competition designed to recognise site managers who achieve the highest standards in housebuilding.
Projects receiving a Quality Award then compete for the Seal of Excellence. In Scotland, only 12 projects achieved the Seal of Excellence in 2018.
Two of the successful projects were located in the Aberdeen area: Westsburn Gardens (Allan Barclay/Barratt North Scotland), and Grandhome (Fred Anderson/CALA Homes (North)). W M Donald is extremely proud to have been given the opportunity to work extensively on both of these projects.
Grandhome is a major development near Bridge of Don based around seven sustainable neighbourhoods. It will eventually provide almost 7,000 homes as well as schools and a network of green spaces for recreational use.
W M Donald initially delivered the infrastructure for the first neighbourhood and subsequently the groundworks and substructures for CALA Homes properties.
The infrastructure contract was extensive, It included earthworks, foul and storm-water drainage, the construction of a one kilometre road network, diversion of overhead power lines, construction of two gas governors, two electrical substations, and two water pumping stations.
At Westburn Gardens, W M Donald built the roads, house foundations and floor slabs. It also installed the site’s drainage system and hard landscaping.
