Ogilvie Construction has broken ground on a £33 million project to build a student residence in Yorkhill, Glasgow, for developers Bricks Developments.

A new state-of-the-art £8million Jaguar Land Rover retailer site in Aberdeen, operated by Peter Vardy Ltd, is nearing completion, with the stylish, modern exterior now fully constructed. The retailer is on course to open later this year, with a renewed focus on customer service, complete with a luxurious atmosphere befitting the Jaguar and Land Rover brands it will house.

Ogilvie Construction, which last year completed the Porsche Centre Aberdeen nearby, is building the facility. The building has now officially been ‘topped out’, marking the completion of the highest point of the structure; construction will now focus on making the facility wind and watertight, before installing the stylishly appointed interior.

The new retailer in Wellington Road is one of the first custom built Jaguar Land Rover sites to adopt a brand new look and feel that places an even greater emphasis on customer service and luxury.

Ogilvie Construction has been awarded the contract for the construction of a new £17 million school in Aberdeen for children with additional support arising from severe and complex needs.

The new school, which will be located on Howes Road, will provide education and support for up to 150 full-time children from 3 to 18 years of age with severe and complex educational and medical needs, and will replace Woodlands School and Hazelwood School. A pre-school additional support service, currently provided in Seaton School, will also be relocated to the new campus.

The school will be delivered by hub North Scotland Limited after it was appointed as development partner by Aberdeen City Council.

West Burn Lane, designed by Sutherland Hussey Harris and built by Ogilvie Construction, has clinched the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Andrew Doolan award for 2015.

The winners received a cheque for £25,000 at the prize giving event at the National Museum of Scotland.

Fiona Hyslop, culture secretary, said: "Once again, both the worthy winner and the strength of this year’s shortlist for the RIAS Andrew Doolan Award have shown that the quality of Scotland’s new architecture stands shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world.

Ogilvie Construction has climbed another place, reaching 6th in the top ten building contractors in Scotland in the latest Construction News League, published by Construction News.

The report is indicative of the continued successful growth of the constructor business, which has secured a number of public sector works, along with major projects in the private sector, particularly in hotel, leisure and student accommodation sectors.

Donald MacDonald Managing Director, Ogilvie Construction, said:

“Our continued success is the result of our people and their unstinting commitment to deliver high quality buildings that meet the needs of our customers, on time and within budget.”

Ogilvie Construction has completed two new student accommodation buildings in Edinburgh for Ziggurat Student Living.

The buildings are within a few hundred metres from each other, at Murano Place and Shrubhill on Leith Walk and total 532 beds. The Shrubhill site will also house over 18,000 sq ft of retail space, with Sainsbury’s confirmed to create a convenience store on the ground floor. 

The new accommodation was recently opened by famous boxers Barry McGuigan MBE and Edinburgh born Josh Taylor.

Ziggurat Student Living Director Jim Pike said:

“This latest development is totally modern and purpose-built and our emphasis is always on extremely high levels of customer service.  With only a few bed rooms still available to let for this academic year, we are confident that our student tenants will have a fantastic living experience in Edinburgh.”

Donald MacDonald, Managing Director, Ogilvie Construction said:

“We worked closely with the team at Ziggurat Student Living to ensure that the buildings were delivered to the highest construction standards, meeting all the needs of the students who will live there.”
