A proven Concept – Shouksmiths hand over another ‘Complete Package’ project to Carillion

Shouksmiths has just handed over its latest ‘complete package’ project at Concept House, Leeds to main contractor Carillion and client UNITE, the UK’s largest provider of student hospitality and accommodation. The new 391 bed property located on Park Lane offers students in Leeds safe, secure high quality accommodation.

Due to the successful completion of a previous project, The Plaza, for the same client and main contractor, Shouksmiths were the preferred M&E contractor for the £2 million follow on contract to design and install the ‘complete package’ of building services at Concept House.  Using the same site team and M&E Project Manager, David Shouksmith, the company started on site last Spring, working with their Leeds-based trading division, Morfitts, who installed all the electrical elements of the works.

David said: “It is a well proven fact in the construction industry that using the same team to deliver follow on projects increases efficiency and keeps down costs.  Our experience on The Plaza project was indispensable to our work on Concept House, and demonstrates just how well we are positioned to provide a skilled, integrated team that delivers what it promises!”
