Balfour Beatty awarded property schemes totalling £100 million

UK construction giant Balfour Beatty announces that it has been awarded construction contracts in the commercial sector totalling £100 million.

In Glasgow, Balfour Beatty has been awarded an £18 million contract for 185-221 Buchanan Street for Land Securities to provide a new five-storey residential and retail scheme in the city centre.

In the City of London, Balfour Beatty has been awarded a two phase contract, totalling £57 million, to construct AXA Real Estate's Sixty London prime office development. The company has also won a £25 million contract to deliver an 11-storey office building in the heart of London's financial centre for Viridis Real Estate Service Ltd on behalf of their client Emmatown Properties Ltd.

On both London schemes, a high percentage of the building services engineering will be delivered using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and off-site prefabrication solutions to reduce waste and increase efficiencies.

All three projects are due for completion in 2013.
