Turner and Townsend and Streets Ahead Project

Turner and Townsend's role in GBP16m Belfast's Streets Ahead Project advances to the next stage.

Turner and Townsend has been appointed to provide detailed costings for the first phase of the GBP16m regeneration of Belfast City Centre.

Following its initial involvement as part of an integrated design team led by EDAW, Turner and Townsend will be involved in facilitating negotiations with the preferred Contractor to achieve a target cost for the project under the NEC3 Form of Contract, provision of cost management services during the construction period and agreement of the final cost.

The project, working under the banner, Belfast: Streets Ahead, is the vision of the Department for Social Development to raise the quality and profile of the burgeoning City as an international destination.

Its aim is to bring in investment from outside Northern Ireland, encourage business development, and contribute to a reduction in crime by making the city centre safer and more people-friendly with well lit and active streets.

The entire development is to be phased over a 10 year period, with the first phase completing in 2009.

George McComish, Associate Director, "Turner and Townsend is delighted to have secured the cost management role in such a prestigious project".

"It is a great privilege to have key involvement in a scheme from the master planning stage through to construction on site".

"The Belfast regeneration will benefit many of its stakeholders, including Turner and Townsend which has just recently relocated to new premises in the City centre.".
