Ilkley’s NG Bailey wins £13 million contract for Strand development in London

Ilkley-based NG Bailey has won a £13 million contract for 190 Strand development by St Edwards Homes, a division of the Berkeley Group.

The firm will deliver a full mechanical, electrical and public health installation in the coming weeks.

NG Bailey’s solution, led by its Engineering division, will use its offsite manufacture capability to deliver the ‘shell and core’ infrastructure to 200 luxury top-end apartments, town houses and penthouses.

The company’s IT Services division has also been charged with the integration and installation of a high-end, bespoke, security and ICT solution.

Mark King, operations director, for the company’s Engineering division in London, comments: “What a fantastic project to have on our books, one that we are proud to be associated with.

“We worked hard to develop a value-engineered solution that would benefit the client in terms of a reduced timeframe for the overall installation and through the integration of a number of our divisional offerings reducing the number of men on site - allowing for better H&S and fewer interfaces between trades - enabling better collaboration.

“These benefits are brought about without a compromise on quality, something the client saw through our recent installations at developments including 20 Fenchurch Street.”

David Hurcomb, the company’s CEO, adds: “The high-end residential market is going through a period of exponential growth and the solutions we offer are perfect for these environments where developers are ‘building’ in dense City locations, with tight build timeframes.

“Our strategy to focus on the residential market comes as we look ahead to the growth driving the market, of which this is just one.”

190 Strand is a residential led mixed use project which is set to rejuvenate the Temple area of Strand. The site was occupied by a vacant 1960s office block, which is being replaced with a scheme designed to respond to the historical context of this unique location.
