McLaren Production Centre

McLaren Automotive aimed to establish a state-of-the-art production facility in Woking, Surrey, to manufacture its high-performance road cars. The challenge was to design and construct a building that met the exacting standards of McLaren's engineering ethos while integrating seamlessly into the green belt landscape. The facility needed to accommodate advanced manufacturing processes, ensure operational efficiency, and reflect the brand's commitment to innovation and excellence.

G&T provided comprehensive Cost Management services throughout the development of the production centre. Collaborating closely with McLaren and the design team, we ensured that the project's financial objectives were achieved without compromising on quality or functionality. The facility, designed by Foster + Partners, features a linear arrangement that mirrors the flow of the production line, with components delivered, assembled, painted, and tested under one roof. Our expertise facilitated effective budget control and value optimisation, contributing to the successful delivery of this complex project.

The McLaren Production Centre stands as a testament to precision engineering and architectural excellence. The 34,500m² facility not only supports the assembly of all McLaren Automotive road cars but also exemplifies sustainable design, with features such as a low-energy displacement ventilation system and provisions for future photovoltaic panel integration. G&T's strategic cost consultancy played a pivotal role in realising McLaren's vision, delivering a facility that enhances production capabilities while maintaining environmental harmony.
