R&M Williams has landed its second major contract for Bristol Airport in the past 12 months.
The contractor will develop the site's new Administration Building, after providing framework for the airport's new £4.3 million fire station earlier this year.
The office structure, which will comprise of three storeys, will house the project teams and senior management, alongside other services such as meeting and training rooms.
It is the latest project in a series of developments that will modernise and expand the site, demonstrating Bristol Airport's continued investment into sustainable, low carbon systems. The new building has been designed with energy efficiency in mind, with a carbon emission reduction of 23% over facility-building regulations.
Bristol Architects, Stride Treglown, have designed a very modern façade for the project that will establish the new office as a signature building on entrance to the airport.
Darryn Parry, managing director of R&M Williams, said: "We are proud that this type of high quality, fast-track construction is one of our business strengths and we look forward to further cementing our reputation with Bristol Airport, with the successful delivery of both the fire station and administration block schemes. It's a really state-of-the-art facility and we can't wait to see the project take shape in the coming weeks."
Andrew Goodenough, Development Director at Bristol Airport, added: "We are delighted to be working with R&M Williams on this second project. The Administration Building will be the welcome that staff, airline and business partner guests will see and we wanted the building to visually blend in with the local environment whilst providing a state-of-the-art energy efficient facility."
