Construction firm Winvic has been selected to continue works on a huge new student accommodation in Bristol.
The company has been selected by property firm Madison Cairn for the 12-storey Redcliff Quarter scheme which will provide 367 studios and shared rooms.
Winvic had already completed initial enabling works and piling operations for the building on the corner of St Thomas Street and Cross Street, close to the University of Bristol’s main campus.
The frim said it would now start the second phase groundworks, including under-slab drainage and ducts works and installation of concrete pile caps, beams, ring beams and the ground floor slab.
The concrete frame programme for the structure will begin in April. Handover is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
Mark Jones, Winvic’s director of multi-room, said: “This repeat business is a testament to strong collaboration and the partnership that we have built with this client. Both projects come with their own challenges and deadlines, with this site being particularly constrained on logistics – due to the interface of the adjoining buildings – and the limit space on this city centre location.
“Nevertheless, the Winvic team appointed to the Redcliff Quarter student accommodation project have a wealth of experience and we are looking forward to safe delivery through to 2025.”
Aneil Handa, principal at Madison Cairn, added: “This will be one of Bristol’s most sustainable and high-quality student accommodation schemes, which has been designed by working in conjunction with Bristol City Council and the local community.
“This is the second project that we are working on with Winvic Construction, and we are excited to build upon our relationship in a partnership approach.”
