Non traditional housing lists
Dear Aberdeen City Council,
I’m currently in the process of compiling local authority information of addresses where non-traditional methods have been used.
Several mass building projects for local authority houses were constructed using prefabricated or in-situ techniques such as concrete or steel and often had trade names such as Reema, Wates, Cornish etc. These are both pre and post war. Some of these types were subject to further investigation under the Housing Act 1985.
I would be grateful if you could forward and information you hold of information relating to such dwellings in your local authority. Even if the information is limited it would be of great use. Some local authorities have provided lists showing the road, number and type to assist with identification.
Yours faithfully,
Steven Lees, BSc(Hons), MRICS

Dear Mr Lees,
Thank you for your information request of 27 February 2017. Aberdeen City
Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
requested.
I’m currently in the process of compiling local authority information of
addresses where non-traditional methods have been used.
Several mass building projects for local authority houses were constructed
using prefabricated or in-situ techniques such as concrete or steel and
often had trade names such as Reema, Wates, Cornish etc. These are both
pre and post war. Some of these types were subject to further
investigation under the Housing Act 1985.
I would be grateful if you could forward any information you hold of
information relating to such dwellings in your local authority. Even if
the information is limited it would be of great use. Some local
authorities have provided lists showing the road, number and type to
assist with identification.
Please see attached.
We hope this helps with your request.
Yours sincerely,
