Capital was appointed as the multi-disciplinary consultant to provide; Employers Agents, Cost Consultants, Project Managers, Structural Engineers, Façade Engineers, Architects, Contract Administrators, Principal Designers & Clerks of Works for the project.

We were appointed to undertake a rigours review of the initial fire compliance report and to produce an options appraisal report for submission to the Building Safety Fund (to determine eligibility), appointing a specialist cladding contractor, formulating and agreeing the design solution with the contractor, reviewing and approving the design, agreeing the contract sum, undertaking the value for money report, appointing third party consultants for independent design sign off and managing the BSF application.

In order to maximise the success of the application through the BSF process, we also developed and formulated the employer’s requirements and contract documents, coordinating the design team, contract administration and agreeing quality control, sign off and handover procedures on site through our clerk of works.

The design was developed following further investigations and Capital’s in house design team coordinated the most suitable options for remediation. Our designs were developed, in tandem, with third party fire engineers and approved inspectors. The project was procured via a tender two stage Design and Build approach. The contractors is engaged via a pre-construction services agreement to work closely with the design team to develop and agree the design solution and contract sum to take forward to the Building Safety Fund application. The project is due to start on site in May 2023 with works due to be complete in September 2024.
