Martin Staehr, director of UK building at Laing O’Rourke, commented: “We are delighted to have secured this work from the MOD and are proud to deliver a modern army barracks that will improve the facilities available to those who keep our country secure.

“The Strategic Alliance approach represents best practice in terms of public sector procurement.

“It is highly efficient and enables vital collaboration on elements that are critical for successful delivery, such as standardisation of design.

“This means we can fully deploy our manufacturing led operating model and use modern methods of construction to improve programme, quality, sustainability outcomes and worker safety.”
