Why it still matters
The completed target is not the end of the programme. A further 356 homes are expected by December 2027, giving trades and suppliers a verified indication of continuing housing work.
Who this affects
Housebuilders, subcontractors, suppliers and training providers working across West Lothian.
What to do now
- Treat the figures as pipeline context, then follow council, housing-association and developer procurement channels for actual opportunities.
- Check which developments are still under construction or planned before approaching delivery teams.
- Look for community-benefit and local-employment requirements when packages are advertised.
What has been delivered?
The target was 1,621 additional social homes between 2023 and 2028. The final ten handovers at Winchburgh Grange in July 2026 meant the target was reached two years early.
West Lothian Council says a further 356 homes are expected to complete by December 2027, which would take delivery 22% beyond the original target.
Our take
The useful detail for trades is the forward pipeline, not just the milestone. Follow the organisations delivering the remaining schemes and rely on published procurement information before committing estimating time.
