Case Studies

The biggest development the Govan community have ever seen has been completed, adding 92 mid-market rented properties for the benefit of Govan residents. The landmark project worth £23 million has been delivered by CCG for Govan Housing Association.  

This development is part of a wider master plan and vision to bring new life into Govan and transform the local area by building new homes, upgrading walkways, and creating attractive green spaces to put Govan ‘back on the map’.  

Commonly known as Water Row inspired by its waterfront location. The site offers spectacular views that overlook Glasgow’s River Clyde extending towards Riverside Museum and beyond. All 92 dwellings have two spacious bedrooms and 10% have been designed to incorporate housing for varying needs standards. The development combines residential living with the addition of 6 commercial units integrated into the blocks. 

As part of the community benefits delivered for this project, CCG provided ongoing training and employment opportunities for Govan residents providing work experience and apprenticeships. Two Govan residents secured apprenticeships with the company and three residents gained site-based work placements. Owing this to CCG’s partnership with organisations like Developing Young Workforce and DWP Govan.  

For this landmark development, Govan Housing Association used SPA’s NH2 framework awarding CCG the contract following a successful mini competition bid. The project was officially awarded in March 2021, enabling works began in April 2021 and the construction started in April 2022. 

Since this project was awarded, the NH2 framework has undergone two iterations and has been replaced with NH3 and H2. The NH3 framework supports an array of housing requirements including modern methods of construction practices. The framework is formed of four workstreams supporting 3D modular systems, 2D panelised systems, main contractors and groundworks and associated works.  

The H2 framework supports the delivery of new build accommodation and associated works which include the development of traditional housing, care homes and extra care living to mixed use sites and site demolition and clearance.

Standing tall in the heart of Govan is the Water Row development, inspiring residents from all walks of life with its stark design and spectacular views. It’s a huge milestone for Govan Housing Association evidencing their commitment to transforming the town and embodies CCG’s ingenuity in construction. This development also demonstrates the value of using an SPA framework and what can be achieved.
