The project brief was to part demolish an existing care home whilst
maintaining the live part of the care home and constructing a three
storey multi-use facility adjacent to it.
The plant, laundry and kitchen facilities were constructed as part of the
phase 1 works and were shared with the old and new facilities. The
old plant, laundry and kitchen facilities were then demolished to form
another wing of the new facility. No interruption to these vital services
occurred when implementing the changeover. The building was constructed
around five sensory courtyards where different features and
themes support people with memory loss.

• Refurbishment of Grade 2 Listed former Soapworks under the
guidance of English Heritage.
• Existing building in very poor condition due to dilapidation and fire
damage.
• 2 No five storey timber frame blocks built adjacent to existing
structure.Particular attention paid to restoration of Bristol Byzantine
architectural detailing.
• Inner city location determines just in time deliveries from key
suppliers.
On inspection the former Soapworks was in a very poor condition so
we instigated a complete refurbishment that utilised structural propping
and a detailed build sequence that involved new storey floors and roof
providing structural support.
The external detailing of the building was considered very important
by English Heritage so a careful restoration process led by a team of
craftsmen was undertaken for which we received a Civic Award.
The construction of two five-storey timber frame blocks in close
proximity to the existing building presented logistical challenges which
was supported by a fully detailed construction programme backed up
by method statements and risk analysis.

• Slow-worm mitigation strategy carried out prior to site works

• Commercial area achieved a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.
• Extensive consultation undertaken with local residents regarding
impact of scheme.
• Liaison with Local Authority regarding improvement of public realm
generally in the site environs.
• Detailed construction method statements and traffic management
plans produced to direct contract programming in a safe and
supportive manner.
The flatted units were built in timber frame off an in-situ concrete
transfer deck which enclosed the commercial area. The houses were
constructed in timber frame which was carefully sequenced to allow a
successful superstructure completion of the flatted units.
The site was constructed in three distinct phases to comply with our
Fire Safety Plan and Heat Load Assessment which determined safe
segregation of the timber frame buildings.
Gainsborough Square was a successful scheme constructed in the
middle of a densely populated urban area with minimal disruption and
nuisance to neighbours or the local community.

• Phase 1 – partial demolition of the existing care home and
construction of a new build facility within the grounds
• Phase 2 – occupants transferred to the new facility, demolition of
the remaining building followed by extensive landscaping
• The design considered trees on the existing site and the layout
allowed for valuable specimens to be protected
• Timber frame construction drives challenging programme
commitments
• The local community was fully briefed on our proposals to ensure
a close working relationship with the minimisation of dust and
nuisance
The Project Manager for the Leadon Bank scheme – Alan Cambridge,
was awarded Project Manager of the Year by the Building Safety
Group.
The phasing of this project was crucial to its successful delivery so we
utilised a five storey timber frame to reinforce our project programme
and to allow for the relocation of the existing residents to the new
facility as planned.

The Construction of two large timber frame structures in close proximity
to both existing and new dwellings presented logistical challenges
which required detailed consideration during the procurement stages of
the project. These constraints influenced the sequence of works on site
to ensure that the potential risks were managed.
EG Carter & Co Ltd played a leading role in the procurement of this
project on behalf of Sovereign HA.
The site came to market in 2012 and we promptly engaged with
Sovereign HA to assemble a robust bid for the site acquisition. We
played a leading role in this process by identifying the key risk factors
effecting viability to inform the Conditionality of the subsequent bid.

623-625 Bath Rd ,Brislington
Upon acceptance of the offer, we advised upon the appropriate
wording for the HoT’s, including timescales for addressing the
Conditionality of the offer.
Contracts were Exchanged, Conditional upon Ground Conditions
and Planning Permission and our attention quickly turned to the pre
development and procurement programme requirements to ensure
compliance with the obligations.
Upon Completion of the ground investigation works it became apparent
that the substructure design parameters would attract significant cost.
We presented this information in an open and transparent manner
for consideration and the Vendor appointed a 3rd party Engineer to
substantiate our findings.
A round table discussion was convened with the Vendor and their
Engineer during which an agreement was reached to adjust the land
value to reflect the abnormal ground conditions.
The procurement programme steered the procurement of the planning
process including co-ordination of the various surveys required in
support of the planning application. All surveys were commissioned
and coordinated by EG Carter and circulated amongst the project team
with clear recommendations.
In conjunction with the Planning Consultant appointed by Sovereign
HA, we were able to ensure that an implementable Planning
Permission was secured to enable commencement of physical works
promptly. This aided cash flow and reduced the burden of holding costs
for Sovereign HA.
The project is at an advance stage with the first phase of handovers
scheduled imminently. Practical Completion is scheduled in advance of
the Contract Completion Date and based upon the robust approach to
the handover process, we are confident this will be achieved.
