CONSTRUCTION VALUE: £34M
AREA: 166,000 SQ FT
CLIENT: BELTANE ASSET MANAGEMENT
SCOPE OF WORKS:
A complicated project of an old 1929 printing press building requiring the refurbishment of the existing basement, a complicated demolition process designed to create various atria spaces and ameliorate various level changes on a challenging site. It also included the construction of a new core and a two-storey rooftop extension. Procured on a two-stage design and build process running concurrently with site works. The second stage consisted of over 40 separate trade packages. The challenge here was to agree a robust contract sum whilst limiting the number of clarifications and provisional sums.
