Client Follow Up
Scheme 1
The provision of a detailed Cost Plan providing a fully measured breakdown of the two main buildings, infill building and a associated external works. The Cost Plan also included some elements of specialist fit-out such as the overhead gantry cranes, which will be built into the fabric of the buildings. A schedule of proposed cost saving opportunities identified by QSetc was also included within the Cost Plan.
Scheme 2
An update of the original detailed Cost Plan to reflect the removal of one building and the increased size of the assembly building, together with a new modular office building and recladding of the warehouse.
Within two weeks of receiving the design proposals from the Architects.
Within 5 days of briefing by the Architects.
The Cost Plan was presented to the Client and various cost saving opportunities were discussed. Following the presentation, the Cost Plan was updated to reflect a number of the proposed savings.
The Cost Plan was presented to the Client's Board who have advised that they are considering the timing with regards to the commencement of the development.
