HBG Construction has been successful in securing a project to create the new Severn Trent Centre in Coventry.

The development will create the new headquarters for Severn Trent from mid 2010.

The project, worth £40m, was won in competition in a single stage design and construct tender. The two-year programme starts now and will provide Severn Trent with 16,000 sq m of high quality office space for their 1,700 employees. The project will achieve a BREEAM 'excellent' rating.

In addition, HBG has recently been awarded two other projects - the Q3 Academy in Great Barr and Slingfield Mill in Kidderminster.

The Q3 Academy is an £18m project to replace the existing Dartmouth High School. The two and three storey concrete frame building includes the provision of new sports pitches and has an overall contract period of two years. The New Academy will cater for 900 11-16 year old pupils and 250 16-18 year old pupils.

The Slingfield Mill project is a £4.5m extension to an existing Grade 2 listed Mill to provide two floors of retail for Debenhams and three floors of shell accommodation for future hotel fit-out. Henderson Global Investors manage the existing busy Retail Park and have awarded this contract on a two stage arrangement. The main works feature two glass box extensions to the listed building with internal and roof alterations to accommodate new stairs, lifts and plant areas.
