Construction News Image
Belfast based construction firm Gilbert-Ash has completed two major projects in London worth a combined total of more than £44 million.

The Fetal Medicine Research Institute is a 5,255m² centre of excellence occupied by the Fetal Medicine Foundation of Harley Street and King’s College Hospital.

The new building rehouses the world leading Harris Birthright Centre, caring for more than 10,000 patients each year, in a high quality hospital and research environment.

The project, valued at £22m, involved the partial demolition and refurbishment of existing terrace houses on the site, while retaining the front façade. Behind the houses the new three storey medical centre with two storey basement was constructed and connected to the refurbished and structurally altered houses.

On Savoy Place, Gilbert-Ash has also completed the headquarters of the Institution of Engineering &Technology (IET), a professional society for 150,000 members in 127 countries, in a project worth £22m.

The project included an extensive refurbishment to preserve Savoy Place’s important heritage and saw a number of improvements being made to provide a modern home for the IET. With its opulent interiors and commanding views, the refurbishment created over 90,000ft² of event space, making it one of London’s most technologically advanced conferencing facilities.
