In the City of London, Balfour Beatty has been awarded a two phase contract, totalling 拢57m, to build AXA Real Estate's Sixty London prime office development.
The contractor has also won another 拢25m job in the City to deliver an 11-storey office building for Viridis Real Estate Service on behalf of its client Emmatown Properties.
On both schemes, a high percentage of the building services engineering will be delivered using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and off-site prefabrication solutions to cut waste and boost efficiency.
The third contract is in Glasgow, where Balfour Beatty has been awarded an 拢18m contract to build a new five-storey residential and retail scheme at 185-221 Buchanan Street in the city centre. Client here is Land Securities.
All three projects are due for completion in 2013.

We have been able to harness technology to create innovative solutions for our customers and look forward to working with them in delivering these first class schemes."
