The Glasgow School of Art has been gutted by another major fire four years after part of the building was destroyed by flames.
Kier is currently working on a major restoration project following the first blaze in May 2014.
The contractor has been on site since the summer of 2016 overseeing repair work worth £25m.
The two stage project has involved restoration of the Mackintosh building’s roof before restoring the west wing and upgrading the east wing interior of the school.
Kier’s contract was scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
The latest blaze broke out of Friday night and has taken 120 firefighters to get under control.
The blaze engulfed the Glasgow School of Arts and spread to neighbouring buildings.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s Deputy Assistant Chief Officer Peter Heath told the BBC the fire damage was “exceptionally significant”.
He said it was likely that all the restoration work carried out since the last fire had been destroyed.
