The development and modernisation of the MoD’s hq in Whitehall, London has been completed ahead of schedule. It was delivered under the private finance initiative by Skanska, with the integration of all of its in-house specialist construction teams into a single function, including m&e arm Skanska Rashleigh Weatherfoil.

The £352 million project to redevelop the early 1950s Grade One listed building included moving over 3000 staff into four alternative buildings. More than 16 000 people worked on the project, with up to 1700 operatives on the job at one time.
