Willmott Dixon Wins British Transport Police HQ Refurbishment Contract

Willmott Dixon Wins British Transport Police HQ Refurbishment Contract
31 July 2024
 

Willmott Dixon Interiors will deliver the category B fit-out of 200 Buckingham Palace Road in Westminster, the HQ of the British Transport Police. 

On behalf of landlord Places for London – The TfL Property Company, Willmott Dixon will completely strip out of the building’s seven floors to create a modern office space to category B standards that is fully accessible and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant.

The project includes the construction of a new front entrance, replacing existing M&E services and additional works to the roof, and upgrading existing fire safety facilities.

The refurbishment contract was awarded by public-sector-owned procurement company SCAPE.

Roger Forsdyke, CEO at Willmott Dixon Interiors, said: “We are looking forward to delivering this fast-paced project. It will transform 200 Buckingham Palace Road into a stylish and flexible headquarters building, with a working environment that facilitates collaboration and promotes employee wellbeing.

“We will be delivering the programme in phases and have carefully planned logistical arrangements to ensure the building remains operational at all times. As we will be working next to London Victoria Coach Station, special allowances have also been made to limit project delivery hours and minimise disruption.”

Laura Fernie, Head of Commercial Offices at Places for London, added: “This is a key project which will see one of our office buildings transformed into a new headquarters for the British Transport Police. This will transform a previously operational building into a modern, highly-sustainable workplace that is targeting net zero and generate a sustainable revenue that can be reinvested into making London a thriving, more connected city.”
