McClaren’s refurbishment and fit-out project currently underway at New Bracken House in the City of London will soon have another contractor on site after Skanska were awarded the eight-figure contract for mechanical, electrical and plumbing works at the development.

The construction firm has awarded Skanska the £41m job as part of Obayashi Corporation’s plans to transform the building into a modern office scheme providing 270,000 sq ft of Grade A office space.

According to Construction Enquirer the MEP contract will entail the replacement of all of the building’s interior services and facilities across its nine floors in time for its mid-2018 completion.

Once completed, the building will once again welcome the Financial Times back within its confines, marking a return to a building the business paper called home until the 1980s when it upped sticks to One Southwark Bridge.

McClaren won the refurbishment and fit-out contract for the building back in May and Domonic Egan, Operations Director, McLaren Construction London said at the time: “The New Bracken House Project is a challenging and exciting addition to our current workload in London and further strengthens McLarens credentials as a leading contractor for commercial office buildings including CAT B fit out.”
