Muir Construction said it has been focused on providing development clients with the most competitive prices, optimised programmes and high-quality buildings in this sector for several years.

David Fairweather, Muir’s business development director, said: “We are delighted to be back on site and continuing our legacy at Heartlands. Delivering Wickes allows us to build upon established partnerships with our valued repeat client, consultants and local supply chain.

“Working alongside P3 Consulting, Smith Design, Ramage Young and DSSR, and many of the subcontractors involved in earlier phases, ensures we bring shared experience and collaborative approach into the next stage of the development.

“This opportunity further secures Muir’s position as a leading retail contractor, and we look forward to continuing to deliver high-quality projects in this sector.”
