McLaren Construction has been named on the prestigious Be First Development Framework Agreement.

The firm has been awarded a place on Lot 2, which is designed for major projects of £10 million and over, along with two other contractors.

The framework is designed to accelerate development and growth in the borough to benefit the residents of Barking and Dagenham. Affordable homes for local people is the main focus, alongside related infrastructure and local amenities.

Kevin Taylor, Chairman at McLaren, said: "Working in true partnership to deliver exceptional quality is something we do well. We also have an excellent track record in collaboration – with customers and the community – helping us to leave a positive legacy wherever we work.

"We look forward to working with Be First and the people of Barking and Dagenham to help bring to life the ambitions for the borough."

McLaren's first project within the framework is set to be Crown House, a new residential block in Barking, for which McLaren is preferred bidder.
