IN Brief:
- Forza will supply fire doors, and washroom doors and panels, under a £500,000 package.
- 105 Victoria Street targets BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum, and EPC A.
- Skanska is delivering the scheme for BGO, with completion expected in 2026.
West Sussex manufacturer Forza Doors has secured a £500,000 supply package for 105 Victoria Street, the major Westminster redevelopment being delivered by Skanska for developer BGO.
Forza’s scope covers all fire doors as well as washroom doors and panels, with products manufactured at its West Sussex facility using FSC-certified timber. The award adds a material package to one of the UK’s higher-profile office developments, where specification is being driven as much by operational performance and certification targets as by conventional commercial fit-out.
The 105 Victoria Street project sits opposite Westminster City Hall and is being developed as a 500,000 sq ft mixed-use scheme, with premium office space, ground-floor retail, and a two-storey basement. The building is positioned as the UK’s largest fully electric, net-zero carbon office development, targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, EPC A, and WELL Platinum.
Forza’s announcement frames the contract as a blend of safety performance and finish quality, with BGO Principal Emma Foster commenting: “Forza Doors have successfully supplied veneer doors throughout 105 Victoria Street, delivering a high-quality finish that combines durability with refined design detail.”
From a delivery perspective, doorsets are rarely “just” a late-stage fit-out item on projects targeting top-tier building certifications. Fire door documentation, traceability, installation sequencing, and interface management with partitions, ironmongery, and access control can become programme-sensitive, particularly on high-occupancy commercial projects where test, inspection, and commissioning is already crowded.
The scheme’s amenity offer also points to how central London offices are being reshaped, with extensive terraces and greenspace, including an urban farm, and facilities designed to encourage active travel. Skanska notes that completion is anticipated in the second quarter of 2026.
Forza Managing Director Will Hunnam said: “This is exactly the type of project where our technical authority, design expertise and sustainability leadership come together.”
For specialist manufacturers, wins of this scale are as much about proving repeatable compliance and supply reliability as they are about headline contract value, particularly when the end client expects premium finish alongside demonstrable safety performance.
