VolkerFitzpatrick has been selected to develop a new Royal Mail Delivery Office in London.

The firm will build the Delivery Office and Vehicle Services Workshop facility in Nine Elms, London.

The 15-week contract was awarded following a competitive two-stage tender.

Works involve demolition of existing buildings before building a new 55,000 sq ft delivery office, with a 67,000 sq ft multi-storey car park.

In addition, a three-storey car park will be developed using a structural steel frame with high pressure laminate panels and features a removable top deck.

The project will also achieve a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.

Mark Phillips, VolkerFitzpatrick Special Projects Operational Director said: "This latest project continues a 16-year relationship VolkerFitzpatrick have with Royal Mail.

"During the two stage process we worked hard on delivering all Royal Mail's targets ensuring they Experienced Excellence – this level of commitment will continue throughout delivery."

The project is due to be completed in May 2017.
