Fife builder Muir Homes has struck a deal to complete a partially finished Stewart Milne development in Perthshire. Stewart Milne Group went into administration in January, leaving several incomplete projects. One of these sites was Hunter’s Meadow in Auchterarder.
The collapse led workers and subcontractors to down tools . Muir Homes has now made a deal to finish the development with administrators Teneo. The deal is for six partially complete homes that will conclude the current phase of development.
Martin Smith, chief executive of Muir Group, said they will be completed to their “usual high standards”. He said: “If these partially constructed homes were left after Stewart Milne went into administration then they could quickly become an eyesore for the local community. “Muir Homes has purchased the remaining homes under construction from the administrator and we will work quickly to complete them to a high standard and ensure they become great family homes that are an integral part of the local community.
” Perthshire based kitchen supplier Planet Kitchens will supply and fit Nolte kitchens. Muir Group, which is based in Inverkeithing, said it will start new housing developments in the central belt and Dalgety Bay in the coming months. The construction arm of the business is working on several projects for the whisky industry including Ardgowan Distillery in Inverclyde and a whisky maturation refurbishment project in Kirkcaldy.
