Executive Summary

Client: Persimmon Homes (East Scotland)

Location: Shieldhill, Falkirk

Scope: End-to-end electrical, fire/smoke/CO detection, LED & solar PV

Role: Principal electrical contractor

As a Tier-1 commercial and industrial electrical partner, GreenTech Scotland brought rigorous engineering standards and process-driven project management to the residential sector for this major Persimmon Homes East Scotland development. Located centrally in Shieldhill, Falkirk, the Forth Valley View project was designed to attract a wide demographic, from first-time homeowners to growing families, requiring an electrical partner capable of delivering at significant scale. The project required complete end-to-end electrical design, containment, and installation for a high-volume housing estate. Operating within the strict, fast-paced timelines characteristic of a major national developer, our engineering teams successfully delivered compliant, safe, and highly efficient electrical infrastructure. Crucially, GreenTech’s commitment to flawless on-site safety and environmental controls directly supported the site management team in winning the highly coveted national Health, Safety and Environment Award at Persimmon Homes' annual UK awards ceremony.
