PDG were appointed as Design Managers under a Design and Build contract to deliver circa 44,000ft2 of new residential space in an existing 1950’s Portland Stone clad office building.

Our initial appointment involved audit of the design, working with the commercial teams to build the sub-contract scope of works, management of the novated design team and CDP elements of the works and liaison with NHBC on building regulation and building warranty matters.

As shell modification works on site began to progress and more was discovered about the building as it was opened up, it became apparent that the challenge of fitting the employer’s design into the existing building would require some focused detailing to maintain programme. PDG were asked to bolster the team with expert technical assistance to review and coordinate the external façade work, basement waterproofing and new mansard roof installation.
