Skanska to build commercial building in London

Skanska has secured a SEK517m ($78.9m) contract from Bevis Marks Development to build a 16-storey commercial building in Bevis Marks, London.

The building will incorporate green elements such as combined heat and power generation, rainwater harvesting systems, energy saving lighting systems, condensing boilers, electronically commutated motors on fan coils and energy reclaim systems on the AHU plant.

Skanska is aiming for the 22,000m2 building to get a BREEAM Excellent rating.

Construction on the project is slated to be completed by autumn of 2013.
