## Reported scope and milestone

[Balfour Beatty](https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/balfour-beatty): The £83m construction contract covers a 12,143m² secondary-school campus for Hub North Scotland and Moray Council; completion is scheduled for 2029.

## Engineering interpretation

The package is a secondary-school campus construction contract; the announced 2029 date is a planned completion milestone, not evidence that the facility is operating.

## Delivery responsibilities

The reported construction package defines the contractor’s delivery responsibilities. Civil works, building services, installation and commissioning may sit with different contractors or joint-venture partners. The full project budget is distinct from an individual contractor’s award. Contract award, site mobilization, practical completion and operation are separate milestones; planned dates and capacity remain prospective until the owner confirms delivery. The source-defined scope therefore matters when comparing a civil contractor, a construction manager and an integrated design-and-build provider.
