The Engine Yard Development EDINBURGH
​| PLACES FOR PEOPLE/ALLEN BUILD
​

​Marshall Errock Construction Ltd carried out the Masonry Brick and Blockwork at Hymers College in Hull for Allenbuild; this led onto M.E.C. Ltd being awarded Skipton Building Society Headquarters in North Yorkshire (using hand pitched stone), for Allenbuild/Turner, whom eventually were amalgamated into “Places for People”!
 
On “Places for People” carrying out due diligence on Marshall Errock Construction Ltd ability to deliver large and complex schemes, coupled with our extensive history spanning over 2-decades of having a presence in Edinburgh; we were invited to develop a long-term tender to carry out the Masonry Brick and Blockwork element of one of the most major and prestigious developments at The Engine Yard in Edinburgh.
 
Interestingly, this former railway yard (Brownfield Site), was used in the opening sequence of the 1996 infamous “Trainspotting Movie”, starring Ewan McGregor and Danny Boyle.
 
A regeneration project to create 377 new homes in the heart of Edinburgh.
 
The client incorporated old with the new by developing homes from The Engine Yards original structures, providing a unique design of stunning 1, 2 and 3 bedroomed homes and Penthouses.
 
Off road underground parking and featured terraced roof decks and private gardens, just some of the amazing features this fabulous development offers.
 
Also utilising a redundant brownfield site for homes, it ticks many boxes for the environment and sustainability.
 
Commencing in 2018, M.E.C. Ltd were awarded multiple phases throughout the duration, to deliver to high standards, safely, included apprenticeship training, and worked as part of a team alongside all other specialist sub-contractors on the project.
 
The project is a credit to all involved, and we would extend a sincere thank you to PLACES FOR PEOPLE for choosing M.E.C. Ltd as its preferred Masonry Brick and Blockwork Contractor on this superb development.
 
Very proud to be part of this scheme.
