We chose d+b facades because their proposed solution was a superior product to all other tenders. We were also strongly influenced by their track record and experience as developers in their own right. The project progressed extremely well and we are delighted with the outcome which provides high-quality accommodation for our tenants.

The way the building looks and the quality of accommodation, tenants are always very surprised to learn how old the building actually is. Castle Court is always fully occupied and there is a long waiting list.

Since the building was refurbished it has changed completely. With the aluminium cladding and the feature roof, it is really distinctive. The quality of the accommodation is superb which makes it a very desirable tower block ensuring we have full occupancy.

West Whitlawburn

Without refurbishment these blocks would have continued to deteriorate and their life expectancy to decrease which would have a huge impact on demand and living conditions of the residents. High-quality refurbishment was chosen as it economically delivered maximum benefits to both tenants and the Housing Co-operative. Since completion, these blocks have become highly desirable and sought-after accommodation. The works have extended the life expectancy of the blocks considerably.

Since refurbishment more than 20 years ago, the building has required no external maintenance and has been problem-free. Thermal performance has been significantly increased and consequently delivers a low cost-in-use. It is the most tenant-favoured high-rise accommodation in the City.
