Building consultancy services

Description

Please note, this publication is a contract award notice. This is a major building project forming part of the West Park Campus development that shall refurbish and upgrade 2 linked 1960s buildings that provide an academic environment for science and engineering learning and research. The building was originally constructed in 2 phases using a pre-cast concrete frame. It has multiple levels stepping up an inclined site. The combined area of the 2 buildings is 20 000 sq m. Within this are a mixture of highly serviced laboratories, specialist research facilities, workshops, teaching and study areas, breakout spaces, offices and administration facilities. Key elements of the works shall include: — General re-decoration and refurbishment works; — Upgrading of the building envelope to improve thermal efficiency; — Replacement of all existing electrical and mechanical building services; — Changes to the internal layout to make the buildings more legible; — Relocation of facilities to suit current departmental structures. The construction works shall take place in phases whilst the building is occupied. An essential duty of all members of the consultant team will be to contribute to the development of a decant and phasing strategy that will enable the works to take place with minimal disruption to the buildings' occupants. We are looking to appoint the below mentioned disciplines to assist with the procurement of this development. These services could be provided by a number of specialist practices, consortium or by a multi–disciplinary practice: — Architect; — Quantity Surveyor and Lead Consultant; — Structural Engineer; — Building Services Engineer; — SWMP and CDM Coordinator.
