EXCELLENT progress is being made in building the new Morrisons supermarket in Telford, say contractors Clegg Construction.
Clegg Construction began work on the £15 million project, which also includes retail units with apartments above, in January. Further work on the site includes 16 mews houses and two blocks of Extra Care apartments.
Simon Blackburn, managing director at Clegg Construction, said: “We’re delighted with how the project is progressing. The building is now taking shape for all to see.
“This is a contract we’re really pleased to be working on as it is such a major development for the town. Clegg Construction has an excellent track record of delivering large-scale projects of the very highest calibre and this scheme will be no different.
“Despite the undoubtedly difficult times, we have secured a number of contracts and have been working on numerous projects across the midlands, which is excellent news for the company.”
Clegg Construction is completing the project for its client Henry Davison Developments Limited. This is a company for which Clegg Construction has successfully completed previous development schemes. Clegg Construction was awarded the contract following a competitive tender process.
The project is being delivered to meet the demands of BREEAM’s (Building Research Established Environmental Method) very good rating. This ensures the project achieves high standards of environmental performance and sustainability.
The work is being completed at Lawley Square, Lawley Village in Telford. The main project is on schedule and is to be completed in January, 2013 with the Extra Care accommodation due for completion in December, 2013.
