Work on the building was stopped in January following the collapse of the original contractor, Carillion.
However BAM, which is currently delivering the Two Chamberlain Square building, has taken over at the site and the majority of subcontractors who were working on the scheme have now returned.
Demolition contractor DSM has remained active on site at Paradise Birmingham throughout the winter period, maintaining the programme for Two Chamberlain Square.
Leader of Birmingham City Council, Cllr Ian Ward, saidL "Paradise Birmingham is central to our wider regeneration vision for the city. It is vital to the local economy, so to get a new main contractor on board in the shape of BAM to complete One Chamberlain Square is an important next step.

"This move not only supports existing jobs in the supply chain but also helps to secure local construction skills. Completing the first new buildings at Paradise next year will transform the historic civic space in the heart of the city and help us fulfil the potential of this vitally important development."
Rob Groves, Regional Director of developer manager Argent, said: "Ever since Carillion went into liquidation on 15 January we have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure disruption to Paradise was kept to a minimum.
"Having BAM on board for the building along with remaining close to subcontractors and the supply chain means we are now able to move ahead with getting One Chamberlain Square completed as soon as we can. We will be very pleased to see contractors back on site later this month and the building progressing towards completion over the next year."
The building, which topped out in December last year, will be handed over to leading international professional services firm PwC in early 2019 for its Birmingham office relocation..
