Last week marked the successful handover of Clyde Valley Group's Overtown Development, a milestone project that beautifully blends heritage preservation with modern living.

This landmark scheme has transformed the former Overtown Primary School, a cherished local building dating back to the late 19th century, into thoughtfully designed homes that honour its character while meeting contemporary housing needs.

The development includes a sensitive conversion of the old school building into nine bespoke homes, alongside eight new two-bedroom houses delivering 17 high-quality, affordable homes for the Overtown community.

The historic façade continues to serve as a focal point on Main Street, complemented by new-build properties behind that reflect the architectural charm of the original school.

As Quantity Surveyors, Ewing Somerville Partnership is proud to have supported the delivery of this significant community development balancing cost management, value, and quality to help realise the project vision.

Our thanks go to the dedicated team whose collaboration made this achievement possible:

A huge thank you to everyone involved:
Client: Clyde Valley Group
Contractor: Rosewood Homes & Properties Limited
Architect: Grant Murray Architects
Structural Engineer: The Structural Partnership Limited

We’re delighted to have played a part in a project that demonstrates what thoughtful collaboration can achieve, preserving local heritage while providing new opportunities for residents for years to come.

Another fantastic project we were delighted to be involved in, was the St Peter's School in Partick, Glasgow, which closed in 2013. The project retained and refurbishes the original south wing of the 1899 school building, complementing it by a new build that mirrors the aesthetics of the surrounding tenements.

60 high-quality apartments for social and mid-market rent, alongside supported accommodation in partnership with SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health) were provided.

The project achieved EcoHomes ‘Very Good’ and Silver Standard compliance through a combination of thermal efficiency, natural ventilation, low-carbon materials, and intelligent use of the sloping site to incorporate undercroft parking and dual-aspect flats. Secure cycle storage, excellent public transport links, and vibrant, light-filled communal spaces support active, healthy living.

The project was completed in November 2022.
