We wanted Zone 23 to be a different type of commercial space, one that has a strong individual feel an iconic building whose brand and positioning would rub off on its occupants, says developer Mark Weipers

The Zone 23 development comprised several individually negotiated building contracts with overlapping construction programmes.

The main contractor for the entire project was Macrennie Construction. Macrennie Construction business development manager Steve Fowler explains how teamwork on the job was paramount.

"Demolition, new work and the staged inclusion of existing structures were all facilitated to a tight programme," says Fowler. "This was made possible by the client-developer appointing the project team, inclusive of the main contractor, from the outset," says Fowler. "Due to the evolving nature of some of the work, the construction consultants had to work in closely with the main contractors throughout. Clear communication was vital in terms of both time and the high standard of finished work.

"The developer, and its tenants and purchasers have all been very pleased with the outcomes, strengthening our belief that the final result is a credit to that whole team."
