The 545,000 sq. ft. speculative development has been delivered within a 39-week construction schedule, forming part of the wider regeneration, transforming a brownfield location into a high-quality logistics and employment hub for the South West.
The project was designed around a structured and collaborative delivery strategy to meet timescales, with early supply chain engagement across key packages including steel frame and cladding, to ensure all partners were aligned to the programme from inception.
The programme involved working to ensure successful on-time completion, supported by planning and consistent communication with key contractors, maintaining momentum throughout every stage of the build.
A range of sustainability measures were integrated without impacting the programme, including the use of cement replacement in concrete, the incorporation of recycled steel and the use of modern methods of construction such as precast concrete walling, lift cores and stair units.聽
The team also implemented robust environmental practices, including segregated waste streams and smart waste management, while reusing excavated materials through a carefully engineered cut-and-fill balance refined at design stage.
Alongside delivery, McLaren 蘑菇传媒 maintained a strong focus on social value and responsible construction, and the project achieved an excellent score of 43 out of 45 in its Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) assessment, with a high score for community engagement environmental management, and workforce wellbeing.
The report highlighted the team鈥檚 proactive communication with stakeholders, robust environmental processes, and a strong commitment to workforce welfare including mental health support and high-quality site facilities.聽
McLaren 蘑菇传媒 (Midlands and North) also supported skills development throughout the programme with apprentices across multiple trades, including five scaffolders and two electricians, as well as work placement opportunities.聽
The completed building offers high-specification logistics space with premium office accommodation, including a main reception area, feature link bridge and high-quality internal finishes including bespoke kitchenette areas with custom Corian worktops, glass splashbacks and feature staircases with glass balustrades.
