Construction News Image
The JR Group has completed work on the erection of a large-scale steel frame at a prime Ayrshire town centre development.

The milestone on the build on Carrick Street in Ayr was marked by a visit from Councillor Martin Kilbride who helped place the final ‘golden bolt’ on the structure of the building during a visit to the site on Friday 8th July.

The 31 self-contained flats for social rent on behalf of Ayrshire Housing are now well underway and the completion of the steel frame highlights a significant landmark in the build process of the development.

The JR Group team worked with key partners to deliver this major element of the build process including Architects, APRL; Engineers G3, and Steel Manufacturers, GR Contracts.

Craig Whyte, Commercial Director for The JR Group said: "The completion of the steel frame at Carrick Street was a landmark moment for this key regional project. The steel frame was the best option for the site and the sustainability and tensile strength of the steel is making this method of building increasingly popular.

"Works continues at Carrick Street but the arrival of the steel frame shows on time, real progress and we are excited to take the site though to completion and provide much-needed new homes for Ayr.

"It was excellent welcoming Councillor Martin to Carrick Street on Friday to showcase the significant progress made so far on this project, we’re delighted he could join us to celebrate this milestone."
