Mace has revealed more details of its decision to sign a construction management deal to build the new Spurs stadium 鈥� despite originally winning it under a fixed price.

The firm won the deal back in late 2015, having seen off a pitch from Multiplex with other firms interested in the job at the time including Laing O鈥橰ourke.

In August, Mace admitted the job 鈥渆volved into a construction management contract鈥� after reviewing the scheme with the club to find the 鈥渕ost appropriate way to deliver the stadium鈥�.

In an update, the firm told 黑洞社区 the route was 鈥渢he only viable鈥� one at the time.

It added: 鈥淕iven the wider economic uncertainty at the time we were negotiating to build the New Stadium, we believed that construction management was the only viable option for a project of this scale and complexity.鈥�

Yesterday, 黑洞社区 reported that Tottenham鈥檚 chairman Daniel Levy last week told supporters the delay on the 62,000-seat ground was down to 鈥渟everal鈥� contractors and admitted costs had 鈥渄efinitely risen鈥�.

Cost-cutting measures the club has introduced include paring back its internal spend on items such as campaigns and marketing.

Levy also revealed the delay meant 鈥渕uch of the [stadium鈥檚] external work has been brought forward from next summer鈥�.

The club is due to give an update by the end of this month on the stadium鈥檚 progress with details expected of where it will play its one home league game next month, against Chelsea on 24 November. It is currently playing its home league and Champions League fixtures at Wembley.
