The firm is up against Sir Robert McAlpine and Brookfield Multiplex for the £120m job to build a shopping centre, cinema complex and car park in the Berkshire town.

Full planning was granted by the council last October, allowing Carey Group-owned Scudder Demolition to start clearing the site.

Client, the Bracknell Regeneration Partnership, a joint venture between the Bracknell Forest Council and Legal and General, hopes to start building work in the Spring after preliminary site enabling work is complete.

Arup is the structural and Hoare Lee the M&E consultant

Bracknell Regeneration Partnerships has signed up companies for more than 60% of the available space. These include Cineworld, for a 12-screen, 41,500 sq ft cinema, Marks & Spencer, which is taking an 80,000 sq ft store and restuarants Nandos and Zizzi.

The Partnership is now finalising the finance for the scheme in the northern part of the town centre.
