C~urb has been the development agent for Wellhouse HA, a community controlled HA in the east end of Glasgow, since January 2023 and in that short time have progressed our development ambitions significantly including setting up 2 design teams; negotiating with land owners, statutory bodies and grant providers on our behalf; presented options to staff and committee and supported our organisation’s learning and development.  The team are great to work with, always taking time to understand our ambitions and organisational culture and work really well with both staff and the governing body.

Our team has delivered award winning regeneration projects and supported Link in achieving biggest UK builder status in 2022.

Central to our aim of creating sustainable communities is our focus on placemaking and building homes that are not just award winning in architectural terms, but, designed to create places where people want to live.   

We can support with:

  • Development feasibility and appraisal  
  • Pre and Post Contract management administration and Clerk of Works 
  • Scottish Government funding management and administration  
  • All tenures: Social Rent, Mid Market Rent, PRS, Housing for Sale and Student Accommodation
  • Site Investigation and Acquisition/ Section 75 Contractor procurement: PPC 2000/ Design & Build / Golden Brick/ Traditional contract, 
  • Contractor and Consultant Procurement Frameworks  

C~urb provides a tailored pre and post contract development service for Hillhead Housing Association. We appointed them in April 2023 to take forward a design and build project with a major house builder as part of a Section 75 Agreement with our local council. We selected C~urb because of their knowledge and experience of similar types of projects.

Their committee information and reporting is very clear and concise and complies with our regulatory requirements for RSLs involved in development activity. C~urb staff respond to information requests timeously and are always happy to provide additional support when asked.

We also have benefited from access to their Framework Agreement which has streamlined the contract procurement process for the appointment of Employers’ Agent, and the Contractor itself. 

The experience and knowledge of the Scottish Government’s AHSP was invaluable when it came to the preparation and submission of the Tender Application. We are looking forward to working with their post contract team when the project goes on site in February 2024.

We find their staff very approachable and professional in all aspects of project management.

We offer a commercially-focused service for larger scale investors who want to develop Build to Rent homes,

Our highly effective and experienced Development Team is building opportunities throughout Scotland and delivering more than 2000 new homes in the next few years. 

Recent industry accolades include Scottish Homes Awards 2022 and 2023 and Homes for Scotland Awards 2022, Scottish Design Awards 2022: Regeneration and The Herald Property Awards 2022. 

C~urb Property Development team provided us with just the tailored development services we needed and at short notice, were able to resource this.

On completion of the Tendering process of our Phase 10 development at Lochfield Park, Scottish Government had introduced their on line system for completion of Tenders. We were unfamiliar with the system so approached C~urb for assistance.

There was a time pressure on the submission and the C~urb  team was able to quickly get up to speed with the project particulars  to complete the application timeously allowing the approval within the desired timescales and obtaining the  required level of grant needed for the project, guiding the Association through the process.

The team was approachable and skillful and the service was very professional, efficient and provided the Association with value for money. On the basis of our experience, we would be more than happy to recommend C~urb Property Development to others.
