Contractor hands over flagship building to automotive supplier
A Midlands building contractor has handed over a flagship building to an automotive parts supplier, which produces bumpers and accessories for car manufacturers including Jaguar Landrover, following a multi million pound construction contract.
The 38-week build by Pave Aways for Polytec Group included the construction of a paint plant and assembly halls with a combined floor area of 7,800 sq m and 640 sq m of office space spread over two levels at Telford54.
The £8.45m contract also included extensive external work on the 28,000 sq m greenfield site. Pave Aways constructed 4,000 sq m of car parking and internal concrete roads, with detailed drainage and other services and an attenuation system to store and release surface water.
Pave Aways also oversaw the fit out of the paint plant that was delivered by Sturm-Gruppe.
The development is an additional facility for Polytec. The firm, which has its UK base in Bromyard, Herefordshire, needed the extra manufacturing space to increase output after winning a number of new contracts.
Pave Aways managing director Steven Owen said: “This has been a substantial build that we are delighted to have completed and handed over to our client.
“Our team faced some challenging weather conditions over the winter with heavy snow stopping external work completely for a period but our experience in manufacturing projects like these allowed us to mitigate the impact on the overall programme.
“Polytec will be a valuable addition to the Telford and Shropshire business community and we look forward to seeing the plant in operation in due course.”
