GRAHAM Interior Fit-Out has been appointed to deliver a £20 million workplace refurbishment for HMRC at their Telford site, a major project that will transform a 1990s-built office complex into a modern, secure, and flexible working environment.
In August 2024, HMRC announced it was moving to a new site in Telford, alongside HM Land Registry as joint occupants, and the project is now underway, with completion anticipated in 2026.
The three-storey concrete-framed building will be fully refurbished. The scheme also includes the transformation of two ancillary buildings, a former restaurant and a former standalone gym.
Key features of the project include:
- Meeting Suite: The former restaurant will be converted into a flexible meeting suite with two large rooms (with a moveable wall), breakout space, AV room, WC’s, and storage.
- Cycle & Welfare Hub: The former gym will be transformed into indoor cycle storage with double-stacked racks, a drying room, showers, and WC’s.
- Enabling Works: Strip-out of all buildings, new entrance lobby, full glazing replacement, roof and façade repairs, and hard landscaping upgrades including EV charging infrastructure and security enhancements.
- Main Fit-Out Works: New partitions, finishes, ceilings, M&E systems, breakout areas, AV installations, and refurbished WC’s throughout the main office building.
- External Enhancements: Soft landscaping, woodland path creation, car park repairs, external lighting upgrades, and installation of rising bollards and barriers.
James Shannon, GRAHAM Interior Fit-Out Project Manager, said:
“We are pleased to be delivering this significant refurbishment in Telford, which will provide HMRC and HM Land Registry with a modern, flexible and secure workplace. The scheme involves the complete refurbishment of the main office building and the transformation of two ancillary facilities, delivered in phased works. Our priority is to provide a high-quality outcome that meets the operational needs of both organisations.”
The project is being delivered under a JCT Design & Build contract with HMRC and HMLR-specific amendments, split into enabling and main works phases.
