Gravesham Borough Council has signed a pre-construction contract with Willmott Dixon for the new £43m Cascades Leisure Centre.
The move will allow initial works to begin on the site as Willmott Dixon now works with the project architects Space & Place on the final design and specification for the new centre.
The PCSA runs until August 2026 when a main contractor will be appointed to build the new leisure centre which is due to be completed in December 2028.
Cllr John Burden, Leader of Gravesham Borough Council, said: “It’s good to have Wilmott Dixon on board for this important stage in the development of our new Cascades Leisure Centre.
“They will have an important role in achieving value while ensuring that the overall brief, vision, and intent of the leisure centre is not compromised.”
Richard Poulter, Managing Director Construction South at Willmott Dixon said: “Signing this pre-construction contract marks a key step forward in bringing the vision for a modern, low-carbon, and inclusive Cascades Leisure Centre to life.
“Our team is committed to delivering not only high-quality design and construction expertise, but also meaningful social value through jobs, skills development, and community engagement.
“We look forward to helping create a facility that supports the health and wellbeing of local people for generations to come.”
