The open-plan, two-and-a-half storey main office building will be built on the existing Fore Business Park and completion is scheduled for summer 2019.
Work is already underway and once completed, the purpose-built campus will house the IM Group of companies including IM Properties, Spitfire Bespoke Homes, International Motors, Isuzu UK and Subaru UK. Features will include offices and a training academy, as well as large external terraces to serve the café and gymnasium.
Aside the main HQ sits various other buildings creating the campus, including a smaller building acting as HQ for IM’s charity Christian Vision, and a gatehouse building, which float over a pond, plus further ancillary ones which will service its car distribution business and training facility.

David Hartley, Project Manager, said: "This is a very high specification development. During the tender discussions the client gave us a sense of their ambition, which is for a very impressive structure both externally and internally. We were keen to secure the contract given its proximity to our own offices. We will be working with Webb Grey architects again, with whom we created Tata Technologies new HQ at Leamington Spa recently and Calthorpe House in central Birmingham.
"Given the campus feel, there’s a significant landscaping element to this scheme, with feature ponds, large swales, high specification external furniture and multiple bespoke six-metre high corten sculptures."
Tim Wooldridge, IM Properties’ Managing Director, added: "We are pleased to be working with BAM as a tried and trusted partner and we are confident the team will work well with our in-house project delivery team to create our ambitious designs for the new HQ."
