Details of the main subcontract packages on Lendlease鈥檚 scheme to build Google鈥檚 拢650m new London headquarters are now beginning to emerge.

The awards have been shrouded in secrecy with only the steelwork package 鈥� a 拢50m deal for Severfield 鈥� being confirmed so far. 

Site hoardings have gone up at the King鈥檚 Cross development but there is no reference to the job itself on them. Instead, the scheme is known as KGX1.

Lendlease declined to comment but Laing O鈥橰ourke-owned Expanded has begun work on the piling contract and is due to take delivery of huge rig, understood to be the largest being used on any job in the country, in the next couple of weeks.

And 好色先生TV understands O鈥橰ourke鈥檚 pre-cast concrete business has also been lined up for work at the scheme which is believed to carry an overall construction pricetag of 拢400m.

Up to 20,000 tonnes of steel will be used on the job with Severfield due to start in earnest once its work on Spurs鈥� new football ground winds down later this summer.

The tech giant鈥檚 King鈥檚 Cross home has been redesigned by US-Danish architect BIG and Heatherwick Studio after Google decided to tear up the original plans put together by AHMM. The executive architect is BDP.

As part of the decision to redraw the scheme, the job was retendered with Lendlease beating Mace, Multiplex and Sir Robert McAlpine to the deal.

The site at King鈥檚 Cross occupies a plot to the north of the station with railway lines running to one side of it and King鈥檚 Boulevard, which includes David Chipperfield鈥檚 One Pancras Square, built by Bam, the firm that was lined up to carry out the Google job before it got redrawn, on the other.

The 330m-long 10-storey groundscraper will cover 650,000sq ft of office space at what will be Google鈥檚 third building at developer Argent鈥檚 67-acre regeneration scheme.
