Finley complete Software Centre work
Finley Stuctures have recently completed work on a £350,000 contract with Bam Construction.
Work started on the new £10m Software Centre, a centrepiece for Sunderland’s growing software industry, earlier in the year.
Finley were awarded the £350,000 contract to supply, fabricate and erect the structural steelwork, completing the 300-tonne job in five weeks, which included landing the decking packs and pre cast concrete stair installation.
Managing director John Finley said: “From receiving the order to delivering it, everything went extremely well and according to plan.
“It’s the first time we’ve worked with BAM Construction, but they’re delighted with our work and we’d hope it’s just the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”
BAM’s senior project surveyor David Coe said: “This is the first time BAM have worked with Finley Structures, and we would certainly be more than happy to do so again.
“We found all members of Finley Structures to be extremely helpful and competent. Tenders were returned swiftly, design works were produced in accordance with our requested programme, and the site installation was completed around two weeks ahead of programme.”
The Software Centre, which is due to open next year, aims to bring 140 jobs to Sunderland and will continue cementing the city’s and the North East’s reputation as a centre for hi-tech businesses.
The 53,000 sq ft development will have state-of-the-art accommodation for 60 software businesses, as well as exhibition space, showing visitors in a fun and interactive way, the role software plays in their lives.
