Hiscox declared that it has contracted BAM Construction to construct its new Ł19 million offices in Hungate.

The four-story office covering 50,000st ft is aimed at generating 500 jobs to the city and will feature a cantilevered concrete frame, structural glass curtain walling and a winding staircase in a full-height atrium. It has been designed by architects MAKE.

It is expected that the construction will be commenced in July 2014.

"Our new office in York will set the benchmark for Hiscox's future approach to office design and working practices," said Steve Langan, managing director of Hiscox UK, Europe and Asia, "This means it's incredibly important to us that we work with a building contractor that shares our focus on excellence and attention to detail."

"BAM stood out as one of the foremost contractors in the UK. They set high standards in construction and we were impressed by their enthusiasm for the project from the outset," Langan added, "They were the obvious choice for us; they have a proven track record of working on prestigious developments and a high regard for health and safety, they share our vision for the build, and most importantly they have the expertise and experience we need to make it happen."

"This is a very exciting project, turning a site of historical interest into a modern facility that complements the wider regeneration plans for this part of the city," BAM construction director John Phillips, "With its iconic design and well constructed layout, the building will be aesthetically pleasing as well as provide a well-equipped, user-friendly working environment. We look forward to building on the strong relationship with Hiscox that our facilities management business has developed with them in recent years."
