West Village / Castle House
Leeds
CubicWorks delivered the complete transformation of West Village – a landmark 14-storey, 90,000 sq ft office tower in Leeds for Bruntwood. As the cornerstone of their £50m Pioneer programme, this award-winning Design & Build project required full M&E redesign responsibility from Stage 2 designs, complete curtain walling replacement, and sectional completion delivery. Our outstanding work quality immediately earned multiple tenant fit-out projects and BCO Award recognition for workspace excellence.

The Complete Tower Transformation:
14 floors of Cat A office space – from Stage 2 design to full completion
Complete curtain walling and window replacement across the entire building
Full M&E systems redesign and installation – taking design responsibility others wouldn’t accept
All common parts refurbishment throughout the tower
Sectional completion delivery – handing over floors progressively while maintaining operations
The Quality That Spoke for Itself:
When sectional floors were completed, our delivery quality immediately earned us multiple tenant fit-out projects for incoming businesses. This led to being awarded new communal extension spaces – creating collaborative co-working areas, enhanced reception areas, and premium amenity spaces that transformed the building into a true community hub. The exceptional quality of our work was further validated by BCO Award recognition – industry acknowledgment of workspace excellence.
Design & Build from Stage 2
West Village was Bruntwood’s cornerstone project for their £50m Pioneer programme – transforming a 14-storey, 90,000 sq ft tower into Leeds’ most progressive workspace. Most contractors avoid taking M&E redesign responsibility from essentially Stage 2 designs. We embraced it.
Our integrated team engineered solutions that delivered:
100% electric building powered by renewables with EPC A rating
Innovative blue-green roof systems and living walls for sustainability
Phased delivery complexity maintaining building operations throughout
The CubicWorks Difference
Partnership That Delivers Results: Mark Spavin and our team have built lasting relationships with Bruntwood through proven delivery. When clients trust you with their most ambitious projects, it’s because your track record speaks for itself.
In-House Expertise: Our own electricians, plumbers, and specialists collaborated daily to solve complex integration challenges. When your team works together for years, problems become opportunities.
Long-Term Commitment: The electricians who rewired these floors service the systems they installed. Our project managers who delivered this transformation maintain the relationships years later.
West Village now anchors a thriving creative workspace community in Leeds’ West End district. The building we transformed has become the “missing piece” connecting three buildings into one of the city’s most successful commercial developments.
The BCO Award recognition confirms what our clients already knew – when you take full Design & Build responsibility that others won’t accept, exceptional results follow. Our delivery quality earned immediate follow-on work including new communal extension spaces that created a true community workspace.
Most importantly? This industry recognition proves that when you engineer solutions right the first time, both clients and peers acknowledge the excellence achieved.
When you take full Design & Build responsibility that others won’t accept, and deliver BCO Award-winning quality that immediately earns more work, you prove the value of 40+ years of problem-solving expertise. West Village demonstrates that industry recognition follows when engineering excellence meets genuine partnership commitment.
