The total contract value for the project is £9.7m, competitively tendered across three leading contractors. A key component of the decarbonisation strategy involves creating additional plant space, as shown in Figure 1. The principal challenge is ensuring uninterrupted services to existing tenants while constructing a new Level 6 plant deck to accommodate ASHPs, office and WC AHUs, smoke extract fans, and condensers for tenant comms room cooling. This approach enables the works to proceed without intruding on tenanted floors. The new plant deck will be supported by a cantilevered steel structure positioned above the existing plant area, allowing the building to decarbonise without any loss of NIA.

Works are due to commence on-site imminently, with the project due to achieve practical completion in April 2027.
