Cumbernauld is a post-war Scottish New Town, known for its distinctive Brutalist and system-built architecture — a markedly different typology to the sandstone tenements common elsewhere in the central belt.

System-built and concrete-frame construction from the New Town era carries its own particular damp risk profile — flat roof failures and cold bridging are more common causes than the penetrating damp typical of tenement stock.
