The development at East Village comprises of 66 blocks of flats arranged in 12 plots, all of which are over 18m in height. The buildings were constructed as part of the Olympic Village to house athletes during the Summer 2012 Olympics in London and were later converted into residential apartments.

Our role included production of the employer’s requirements and contract documents, appointment of sub-consultants, management and coordination of the design team, validation of the contractor’s design proposal (in agreement with our chartered structural and fire engineers), agreement of the contract sum (via our independent Quantity Surveyors), administration of the BSF application on behalf of our client, obtaining planning and building regulation approvals, management of health and safety / CDM requirement (principal designer role).  In addition, once the works are approved for funding Capital will act as contract administrators, cost consultants and also agree quality control procedures, site sign off and handover procedures and will issue the updated EWS1 forms on completion of the remediation works.

Planning Permission was submitted via a full plans planning application and Building Regulation approval via an external Approved Inspector. The project is currently being assessed for BSF funding eligibility.
