Construction Trends in Falkirk
Falkirk Council's Strategic Housing Investment Plan sets out how 940 affordable homes could be delivered between 2026 and 2031. Construction is already underway at the former Denny High School site, delivering 137 energy-efficient homes for social rent, backed by 14 million pounds of Scottish Government grant funding. The council has also secured funding to unlock further housing sites in Denny and Bonnybridge, while the planned Falkirk Gateway development beside the new Forth Valley College will add 100 new homes alongside a hotel and retail space. Away from these schemes, Falkirk town, Grangemouth, and Denny keep a strong stock of Victorian and inter-war housing, generating a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
