CMS Window Systems Secures Work On £100m Atlantic Square Scheme

Construction News Image
CMS Window Systems has won a contract worth over £10 million to carry out work at the £100m Atlantic Square development in Glasgow.

The contractor will design, manufacture and install a range of aluminium windows, doors and façade elements for the mixed-use development on York Street.

The project is being built by BAM Construction. Once finished, the office scheme will be capable of accommodating more than 2,700 staff. CMS will begin work on site at Atlantic Square in 2019 with the development due for handover the following year.

The contract award provides a secure future for the company's 250-strong workforce and means it has a record order book valued at £65m over the next three years.

David Ritchie, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Winning this contract provides vital job security for our 250 employees who work in both manufacturing and on-site installation roles, and it creates a strong platform for us to invest in the future of the business.

"Recent economic surveys have painted a relatively negative picture for Scotland's manufacturing and construction sectors, so it is fantastic to be bucking the trend with a healthy outlook.

"Atlantic Square will be a landmark development in Glasgow city centre and we are really pleased to be working with BAM Construction to transform this prime site. The scale of the window, door, curtain walling and façade brief represents our largest ever single contract, but it is exactly the kind of project that our business is equipped to handle given the design expertise, product range and manufacturing and installation capabilities that our business has today.

"We've evolved rapidly since our inception in 2006 and are now in a position where a large proportion of our contracts are in the £5m+ bracket – not only in Scotland but across the UK."
