GMI Construction Group is one of the largest privately owned construction companies in North England and the Midlands. They have over 35 years of experience delivering award-winning projects for public and private clients throughout the UK. The company works within numerous sectors, such as automotive, hospitality, and residential, and their key capabilities include design and build, fit out and refurbishment, regeneration, infrastructure and engineering solutions.
In 2021, GMI began work on a new 133,118 sq. ft. office HQ building in Leeds City Centre. The landmark design is estimated to have a duration of 80 weeks and will provide seven floors, including podium parking and amenity below. The building will be constructed in line with the very latest human health and wellbeing standards, and BREEAM Excellent standards will be targeted.
Due to the residential area and busy city centre location, GMI was liable for ensuring the public's health and safety were maintained from start to finish. This included ensuring the surrounding vicinity was kept tidy for the residents and other businesses.
To adhere to Leeds City Centre requirements and follow the duty of care when proceeding with works, GMI needed to invest in road sweeping services 7-day-a-week for the surrounding area. Doing so would help keep the access roads and site clear of dust, debris and hazards.
