BUILDING services specialist Briggs & Forrester Engineering Services Ltd will be working with main contractor Carillion on the first phase of the Paradise development in the heart of Birmingham.

One Chamberlain Square is a new eight-storey building featuring Grade A office space.

Briggs and Forrester has been awarded an M&E contract for Shell and Core and Cat A fit out.

Designed by Eric Parry Architects, the elegant, curvaceous building uses a variety of materials to complement the existing listed architecture whilst presenting a contemporary finish. A large roof terrace on the sixth floor offers spectacular views across the city, while a series of restaurants and retail units sit at ground level.

Briggs and Forrester will provide mechanical, electrical and public health services to the shell and core areas including the basement, Lower Ground and Ground floor facilities and the roof top plantroom.

The Cat A fit out will focus on the office floor plates, including environmental and comfort considerations such as FCU air conditioning and LED lighting, and convenience solutions such as small power and data services.

The first phase of the project is due for completion in 2019.
