Lloyd's II

Article Abstract:

Architects Graham Stirk and Avtar Lotay, who work for the Richard Rogers Partnership, have met the challenge of designing the Lloyd's Register of Shipping building, which is located very close to the innovative Lloyd's of London building in the City of London, England. The 56 million pounds sterling Lloyd's Register building has many innovative features, including a concrete frame made from precast and insitu concrete and an automated louvre system designed in Italy. The building is made up of a 12- and a 14-storey tower connected by an atrium.

Tarmac lands building control role

Article Abstract:

Stockley Park Developments is set to award a contract to Tarmac Professional Services for building control advice during the planning process for a 4 million pounds sterling office development in west London, England. Tarmac will take the same role as that of a local authority, but believes that it will offer a better service. Butler and Young and BRCS (Building Control), both privately owned approved building control inspectors, are also thought to be close to signing deals to supply services to commercial clients.

Costs soar on City landmark

Article Abstract:

The final cost for the office building being constructed for Japanese bank Daiwa in London, England, could be 50% higher than the original shell-and-core budget of 48 million pounds sterling, according to joint venture contractor Kajima-Laing. The increased costs have mainly arisen as a result of design changes, with Daiwa looking to increase the usable floor area of the building. Daiwa believes that the cost overrun will not be as great as Kajima-Laing anticipates.
