The Dumfries Standard reports that Dumfries & Galloway Housing Partnership has padlocked sites that R&D was working on across the region.
R&D employee Malcolm Campbell told the paper: “No one from the company has spoken to us to tell us what’s going on. Site workers have been told just to not bother turning up.”
It is understood that the company has been in discussion with its bank to secure its future.
A DGHP spokeswoman said: “We are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the financial position of R&D Construction. In the meantime, we have taken over the security of the sites to prevent any attempts to take materials, machinery and plant equipment off site.”
R&D Construction employs 200 staff directly and supports a similar number of subcontractors.
