The Housing Investment Team

The overall objective of the Housing Investment team is to maintain the Council's housing stock in the best possible condition and to ensure that every household in our area has access to a good quality and affordable home that meets their needs.

The work of the Housing Investment team is to project manage key upgrade and improvement contracts to ensure that the Council meets the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS).

The Housing Investment team also manages key housing asset and stock information and carries out stock condition surveys in preparation for future capital programme planning.
