Contractor named for latest phase of landmark Bristol industrial scheme
McLaren Construction Midlands and North has been appointed to deliver Plot 4 of the Matrix 49 industrial scheme in Avonmouth, Bristol.
Work on Plot 4 started in February this year, with a forecasted programme of 66 weeks to deliver completion by April 2026.
Early works are set to include ground improvements and piling works, alongside the installation of a new foul pumping station, and the programme will see the design and construction of a 596,000 sq ft speculative warehouse unit, accompanied by office space, transport hubs, a link bridge, and a gatehouse.
The project also includes external works, underground drainage, utility connections, and landscaping, contributing further to the site’s evolution into a prime logistics and industrial hub.
McLaren’s partnership with Equation Properties has helped drive the phased transformation of Matrix 49, Plot 3, a £21.6m development spanning 13 acres. Plot 3 is currently on track to deliver a 219,660 sq ft warehouse and 11,365 sq ft of office space.
Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren Construction Midlands and North, said: “Our continued work with Equation Properties reflects our dedication to delivering high-quality, sustainable industrial spaces. Plot 4 builds upon the success of Plot 3, contributing further to the development of this strategic site in Avonmouth. This phase presents exciting opportunities to enhance local employment while meeting the evolving needs of future tenants striving towards net zero targets.”
