Design & Build Refurbishment of a Grade II Listed Building
Value: £1,878,858
Project Allenby / Connaught, the largest infrastructure Private Finance Initiative Project ever led by the Ministry of Defence, has one simple mission – to make life better for nearly 19,000 soldiers (20% of the British Army) by providing modern, high quality, fully serviced, purpose-built living and working accommodation.
Aspire Defence, a Joint Venture between Carillion and KBR, is delivering this strategically important task through a fully integrated partnership and detailed planning to meet the significant logistical challenge involved.
As part of this 35 year contract which encompasses an 8 year construction programme, Brymor are proud to have undertaken the complete refurbishment of a grade II listed building under the contract we have with Aspire Defence. The project involved a full internal strip out to enable change of use from accommodation to HQ Offices for 43 (Wessex) Brigade and 1 Mechanised Brigade and Signal Squadron (215). The scheme also involved major external refurbishment and substantial works to the balcony, stairs and store blocks. In addition to these works, disabled access was provided to approximately half of the building on the ground and first floor levels by means of a series of permanent and lightweight portable access ramps.
Project Allenby / Connaught is reversing years of under investment in the Army’s estates and three years into the operation it is already bringing significant tangible improvements in the quality of life at the garrisons across Aldershot and Salisbury Plain. These improvements are one of the factors to aide the Army’s recruitment and retention of high quality soldiers and Brymor are proud to be undertaking numerous schemes in partnership with Aspire Defence to help achieve this goal.
