Our work at BBC Elstree is all done… but not quite dusted.
The redevelopment of the BBC’s iconic Scenery Block at Elstree Studios has now reached practical completion — marking a major milestone in the broadcaster’s site transformation.
However, the ST1 Group team is still hard at work behind the scenes, supporting the final account close-out with the supply chain to ensure a smooth and commercially sound finish.
Appointed early in the feasibility phase by principal contractor Mitie, ST1 provided a full suite of services to help deliver this complex project in a live broadcasting environment — right next to the iconic Albert Square and The Queen Vic.
Our scope included:
🔹 Estimating & Tendering
🔹 Bid Management
🔹 Quantity Surveying
🔹 Procurement & Change Management
🔹 Project & Commercial Management
🔹 Contract Administration & Cost Reporting
🔹 Final Account Preparation
The transformation included extensive structural alterations, new mezzanine levels, and the full fit-out of reception, restaurant, dressing rooms, offices, dubbing and edit suites — all to current building and acoustic standards.
Delivered under the NEC3 Option A framework, the project was completed on time and to budget, enabling the BBC’s leaseback strategy to progress — with their new facilities ready for action.
With final accounts now in motion, ST1 is closing the curtain on another successful delivery at Elstree — and very soon, it’ll be a wrap.
