BAM Construction has signed a deal to build a new office for Hiscox. Occupying nearly 50,000 sq ft over four floors, BAM Construction will work closely with architects MAKE to realise the build plans. The office will feature a cantilevered concrete frame, structural glass curtain walling and a winding staircase in a full-height atrium.

Completely inspired by the rich history of the site and its existing surroundings, a weave envelope created from a brick module on precast concrete panels will only add to the effect.

Steve Langan, Managing Director of Hiscox UK, Europe and Asia, explained: "Our new office in York will set the benchmark for Hiscox’s future approach to office design and working practices. This means it’s incredibly important to us that we work with a building contractor that shares our focus on excellence and attention to detail.

"BAM stood out as one of the foremost contractors in the UK. They set high standards in construction and we were impressed by their enthusiasm for the project from the outset. They were the obvious choice for us; they have a proven track record of working on prestigious developments and a high regard for health and safety, they share our vision for the build, and most importantly they have the expertise and experience we need to make it happen."
