However, Mace replaced Buckingham Group after the business filed for a notice of intention to appoint administrators.

Upon project completion, more than 3,000 Blues supporters can expect to be seated in the Lower Tilton safe standing area. The KOP Lower Stand will seat an extra 3,600 people. St. Andrew’s occupancy will be approximately 30,000.

Birmingham City, which is administering the St Andrew’s master redevelopment, will take over the administration of all subcontractors working on the lower Tilton and Kop reconstruction projects.

Birmingham City CEO Garry Cook said: “By appointing Mace to the construction management role we have ensured we will be in a position to achieve our goal of having close to 30,000 Blues fans, in person at St Andrew’s, supporting the team later this autumn.
