CCG has a significant focus on affordable housebuilding, with 1,200 affordable homes currently being constructed across the Central Belt.
The company, which employs more than 630 staff members, including 48 apprentices, aims to foster quality, innovation, and social impact in delivering affordable homes.
An important component of their strategy is the use of advanced construction methods and low-carbon technologies to address housing needs, combat fuel poverty, and help Scotland achieve net zero.
David Wylie, managing director of CCG, said: "Being named Homebuilder of the Year is a tremendous honour and a testament to the dedication and talent of our 630-strong team.
"What's particularly heartening is the strength of our culture being embraced across the company - especially by the growing number of younger colleagues, who are already becoming the backbone of our future.
"Our people, along with our much-valued clients and delivery partners, have shown incredible resilience through a challenging year for the sector, with public sector budget cuts and inflationary pressures making it increasingly difficult to keep affordable homes affordable.
"However, through close collaboration with our clients and early-stage contractor involvement, we've been able to better control costs and mitigate external risks - proving that this model delivers results.
'More clients are placing their trust in CCG to lead projects from the outset, and while we know more must be done to address the housing emergency, we're confident that we're on the right path – powered by the commitment and passion of our people.'
The Water Row development, which earned CCG its second award, was completed in May 2024.
It features 92 mid-market rental homes and 6 community-focused commercial spaces.

The project occupies a key site along the River Clyde, adjacent to the Govan-Partick bridge.
David said: "Water Row has not only delivered much-needed, energy-efficient housing in Govan but has also helped reconnect communities, support local enterprise and leave a lasting legacy of regeneration.
"The award is a reflection of partnership working and CCG's deep commitment to delivering better homes, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future for Scotland."
