The contractor is currently building a £18.2 million Faith Schools' Joint Campus in East Renfrewshire, as well as the £7m refurbishment of Crookfur Primary School & Nursery.
The Faith Schools' facility, which is being built for Catholic and Jewish communities in the region, is believed to the first of its kind in Europe.
It will serve as a replacement for the existing Jewish school Calderwood Lodge and an additional primary for the Catholic community.
Heron Bros has so far finished installing the foundations, structural steel and standing seam & flat roofing structures. Further work to be undertaken on the 66-week scheme includes developing the main external envelope works as well as 2nd fix M&E trades. The main external envelope works are also progressing well and are due to be completed in the coming months.

In addition, Phase One of the 65-week refurbishment at Crookfur Primary School & Nursery is complete, including dining and plant room works.
A new extension to the nursery & administration block is also nearing completion, as is Phase 2 which includes a new assembly area, court yard and classrooms. The third phase of classroom works is due to begin next month.
Both projects are part of the Scottish Government's £21m pledge to kick-start primary school construction, which forms part of the wider £1.8bn Schools for the Future programme.
Cathal Heron, Regional Manager at Heron Bros, said: "We're excited to help the Scottish Government to realise its multi-million pound vision for the country's primary schools of the future. We are always eager to build a network of contacts in the area so that we can make our local supply chain as robust as possible."
