Description

Norfolk County Council requires four technical advisors (2 MEP and another 2 architectural) to provide oversight, client side, of main contractor designs as part of the Council's Future Ready Buildings programme that will provide a low carbon, fit for use estate.

A Main Contractor has been appointed at the beginning of RIBA Stage 2, on a two-stage design and build basis to progress the designs up to the end of Stage 4 and subsequently to carry out the works. There will be no client-side multi-disciplinary design team who ordinarily under a design and build contract would have competed RIBA stages 1-3 performance specifications.

The Council therefore requires a team of design professionals (MEP and Architectural) to work alongside the Main Contractor in the first instance to validate the Stage 1 reports and proposed interventions, to secondly agree design and performance criteria for progression through the next RIBA design stages, thirdly to then ensure that those agreed criteria are not lost as the design progresses, and finally to review and comment on the contractors designs.
