Base Architects were approached to carry out a design review of a residential scheme which had failed to achieve its target construction budget.
Overview
Base Architects were approached to carry out a design review of a residential scheme which had failed to achieve its target construction budget.
We redeveloped the design to ensure it was viable and tendered the project to a number of contractors for the construction phase of works.
What We Did
We were commissioned to undertake a full review of both the specification and detailed design elements to deliver a financially viable scheme that sat within the available project budget.
With careful consideration we were able to progress a scheme which incorporated a number of changes and alternative options whilst ensuring that the project was deliverable on site.
Following a successful tender process we were then commissioned to carry out regular onsite inspections and to manage the contract administration stage of works up to completion of the scheme on site, ensuring all elements of the build phase were coordinated.
The result
Unique materials such as copper and hybrid timber and aluminium windows, along with large sections of curtain walling and solar shading were utilised within the build creating the ‘Grand Design’ aesthetic.
Ground source heating along with PV panels were also installed, not only to heat the property but also providing an outstanding investment for our client under the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme.
