ISG has secured a £10 million contract to deliver a Level 2 Building Information Modelling (BIM) project for Asda.

The 35,000 sq ft store will be built on the suite of a former multi-occupancy retail development in Clacton-on-Sea.

ISG was appointed to Asda's global BIM steering group in 2014. Following trial projects at the company's new Barry store in South Wales and the Beeston store in Leeds, the company has now awarded its first full Level 2 project.

Features of the steel frame building will include a customer café, deli counter, an in-store bakery and staff areas with shower and change. In addition, an automated petrol filling station and a large car park with four electric vehicle charge points will be developed.

Rob Martin, ISG's Western regional managing director, said: "The Clacton-on-Sea project represents the culmination of a journey by Asda into advanced collaborative working practices, where ISG has played a key role as a trusted project partner and influencer.

"In a sector where operational costs and asset management are critical, BIM not only creates efficiency benefits during the build phase but also throughout the service life of the store and we are thrilled to be working with Asda on such a milestone project."
