Audi showroom to be demolished before it has even opened.
Industry news portal Construction Enquirer is reporting that a new £5.7 million car showroom in Sunderland will be demolished and replaced before it has even opened.
Construction was suspended on Wearside Audi’s planned new dealership in Newcastle Road last year while work was at the steel frame stage by BDB Design and Build.
The Sunderland suspension came just before the collapse of an Audi showroom built by BDB in Milton Keynes in May.
The collapse saw 20 vehicles fall through the first floor of the £7 million showroom.
The 25,000 sq ft Wearside scheme had been due for completion in the autumn.
Now contractors have moved in to begin demolition and a replacement building is being planned with BDB as main contractor.
