Ten new energy efficient houses are being built for Dundee City Council at Mains Loans South in Dundee, the first council homes for 20 years.
The development will have seven family homes and three for wheelchair users, to be built by Browns Construction.
The houses for wheelchair users have been specially designed to meet the needs of the tenants who will occupy them.
This has been helped by the £800,000 of financial assistance that the city council received from the Scottish Government to kick-start council house-building.
The council is also to build new houses at Ettrick Crescent and Liff Road and, like the Mains Loan South development, will all be built to the latest modern standards and have enhanced energy efficiency to ensure that tenants benefit from low ongoing running costs.
City Council Housing Convener Councillor Jimmy Black said: "All the houses have been designed to provide high standards of energy efficiency through increased insulation levels which exceed current building regulation requirements."
"This should mean lower heating costs for tenants, better noise insulation and help achieve carbon-saving targets."
