623-625 Bath Rd, Brislington The demolition of a substantial worship hall followed by the Design & Construction of 52new dwellings for Sovereign Housing Association Ltd Duration Value Contract Type Client Address Sector & Expertise 100 Weeks £5.85m JCT Design & Build 2011 Sovereign Housing Association 623-625 Bath Rd, Brislington, Bristol, BS4 3LF Affordable Housing • Demolition of a substantial worship hall • Refurbishment & Conversion of Grade II Listed Building to provide four new dwellings • Comprehensive Archaeological investigative works and watching brief during Construction Phase • 2 No five storey timber frame blocks adjacent to main road fronting site 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.
