Shea Ryan, 10, died after contractor RJ McLeod failed to put in place adequate safety measures.
He said the headline figure for a fine was £1.5m but added that this was reduced due to mitigating factors, including the timing of the company's plea.
"This is a fine which will remind the company's shareholders and directors of the gravity of this offence."Prosecutor Saud Ul-Hassan previously told Glasgow Sheriff Court the building site was close to a playpark. Police were called and officers found Shea lying on his back with Mr Patterson and a neighbour beside him.Shea's mother Joanne Ferguson, who wore a t-shirt with her son's face on it in court, said she hoped lessons would be learned from the tragedy."That totally avoidable accident has ruined my life and my kids' lives - I don't even feel human anymore at times because of the grief.
