TClarke is leader for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) in Scotland

TClarke has successfully delivered a 275-bed purpose-built student accommodation facility designed for modern living at the heart of Glasgow’s Love Loan development. Following this achievement, the company has been selected for two additional projects of the same nature. Director Steven Smith discusses TClarke’s unique market advantages for these initiatives.

“Make no mistake, this was a challenging programme with no room for delays or compromises in quality. We take great pride in delivering on time and within budget for our partners, Chris Stewart Group and Thomas Johnstone Ltd. The quality of our work has led us to secure two further substantial student accommodation projects. I believe it’s fair to say that we have distinct advantages in UK North and across Scotland.

In-house M&E and Residential Skills from the Same Team

“TClarke Scotland boasts a combination of M&E (Mechanical and Electrical) resources and residential expertise that is unmatched in the market. This unique pairing has been central to our achievements. Our highly experienced in-house teams can also deliver the scale necessary for major projects like this.

A Challenging Programme

“The entire project encompassed all aspects of the M&E shell and core as well as the residential fit-out, all delivered by TClarke. The timeline was extremely tight; we are delighted to report that everything was completed within a year, and the facility is now motoring to capacity with many students already moved in.

TClarke is the ‘Go-to Team’ for These PBSA Projects

“TClarke’s leadership team took control of the entire program, designating a project manager for each discipline across M&E and residential. This collaborative approach ensured complete coordination throughout the programme. This deep integration has been key to our success. While others may need to outsource, we manage everything in-house, providing clear advantages for our clients and partners.
