The first project to begin is a £5.8m new headquarters for Ono Homes in Church Square.
The three-storey 21,500 sq ft building is to be porcelain clad with a backlit feature wall to the South and West external elevations. Britcon will install roof mounted Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP), Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) and an intelligent BMS system to control the buildings internal environment and help reduce running costs and Co2 emissions, as well as overall efficiency.
The company has already re-engineered the foundations as part of its ongoing value-engineering service and is working alongside tenants who will deliver an internal fit out simultaneously. Completion is expected by March 2018.

Elsewhere, Britcon has been selected to deliver a £5.7m extension project to Church Square House, the main council headquarters building. Work is to begin in Autumn 2017 and completion is scheduled for 2018.
The two projects were awarded to Britcon under the council's Local Development Framework, as part of an overall £60m investment to transform the town.
North Lincolnshire Council leader, Rob Waltham, said: "We have committed to a significant investment that will transform the town and create a vibrant and thriving place where people will want to live, work, study, invest, visit, and spend their leisure time. Our plans include sprucing up the town by building new offices to help bring together public sector organisations and improve access to services and we are pleased to appoint Britcon, as a local business, to deliver two of the projects."
Shaun Hunt, CEO or Hunt Group and Director at Britcon said: "Whilst our project specialisms take us UK wide, our roots remain firmly established in Scunthorpe and so we are delighted to secure these major contracts to revitalise the heart of the town we call home. We have a dedicated locally employed team with extensive experience in commercial office projects."
