Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes, both part of housebuilder Barratt Redrow, have injected £342.7 million into the Scottish economy for the year ending 29 June 2025, reinforcing their role as key contributors to economic growth, housing delivery and employment across the country.
In total 1,544 new homes were brought to market, including 246 affordable homes. Underlining their commitment to sustainability, 99% of all homes achieved an EPC rating of A or B, and most properties were built with access to renewable energy sources such as solar thermal panels, solar PV and air-source heat pumps.
With 90% of materials manufactured or assembled in the UK, Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes directly and indirectly supported 5,036 jobs across the group, its sub-contractors and suppliers – a 24% increase in jobs compared with 2023/24. They also generated an estimated £287.1m in total spend with suppliers and sub-contractors.
The two businesses continue to create high quality communities in some of Scotland’s most scenic and popular locations, from St Andrews to Cammo Estate in Edinburgh, Aberdeenshire and Moray. In 2026, the homebuilders will also begin construction on 3,000 homes at Durrieshill, just outside Stirling, representing one of the largest delivery of homes in Scottish history.
Together Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes made £12.7m in local contributions, creating 541 new school places in communities and generating more than £56m in tax revenues for reinvestment across Scotland.
Their approach to purposeful building focuses on creating long-term value through sustainable, inclusive communities. Affordable homes are sold at an average of 34% below equivalent private market prices, helping more people access high-quality, energy-efficient housing.
Environmental commitment remains central to delivery, with 22.2 hectares of green space created through public open spaces and private gardens – equivalent to 32 football pitches – alongside the installation of 782 electric vehicle charging points. They also supported 59 graduates, apprentices and trainees through its various skills programmes.
Alison Condie, Regional Managing Director of Barratt Redrow said: “The Scottish Government’s commitment to record levels of investment in affordable, liveable, and energy-efficient homes is a positive step, and it aligns with our mission to deliver high-quality, sustainable homes across Scotland.
“Investment in new homes is critical not only for families but also for jobs, skills development and local economies across Scotland.”
