The council says it has appointed locally based Andrew Scott Ltd to carry out the works.
Their appointment follows Willmott Dixon undertaking detailed site surveys to establish the scope of the finishing works needed after the council’s original contractor for the scheme – Buckingham Group Ltd – went into administration.
Andrew Scott Ltd will soon be on site to start the works which are needed to finish the new car park and retail units on the city centre side of Oystermouth Road.
The council say the financial arrangements it had put in place means it’s not envisaged there will be any extra costs to the authority or council taxpayers.
Cllr Rob Stewart, Swansea Council Leader, said: “The council acted quickly following Buckingham Group going into administration to protect our position and appoint Willmott Dixon to establish the scale and scope of the works needed on site to complete the Copr Bay development.
“We’d like to thank Willmott Dixon for their guidance and survey work, which will now inform the work that Andrew Scott Ltd will be carrying out.
“The completion of the car park, retail units and other finishing works will follow-on from a project that’s already delivered Swansea Arena, the coastal park, the car park under the arena and the new bridge over Oystermouth Road.
“These facilities have already benefitted hundreds of thousands of local people and visitors to the city.”
