Galliford Try Building has been appointed to deliver a Single Living Accommodation (SLA) project at RAF Digby in Lincolnshire, valued at £63 million.
The scheme, awarded by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), will see four Junior Ranks buildings constructed with ancillary facilities and car parking.
Each building will contain 69 bedrooms over three floors to accommodate personnel at the base near Scopwick.
The buildings have been designed to be as carbon efficient and sustainable as possible, said Galliford.
“We have a strong track record in providing this type of facility to the Armed Forces and look forward to ensuring the personnel receive the high-quality, modern living quarters they deserve,” said Bill Hocking, CEO of Galliford Try.
Galliford Try delivered a strong performance in the first half of the financial year, with significant wins coming from public sector frameworks.
Its order book value is £3.9 billion (31 December 2023: £3.7 billion), with most wins coming from long-term frameworks, especially in the water sector (AMP8).
The group is forecasting more than £1.8 billion in revenue for the full financial year, with pre-tax profit close to £35.4 million.
Last year Galliford launched a share buyback scheme of up to £10 million.
The group recently purchased more than 1.3 million shares, for an aggregate sum of £5.1 million.
