Chapel Building: Roof Replacement Design / Façade and Flooring Options and Design

The University of Chichester is seeking the professional services of a multidisciplinary consultant to support in investigations, assessment, and subsequent design / specification to fully replace our Chapel Building Roof. This work is required to be to a RIBA 4 level, to feed directly into business case approvals, and subsequent tender activity. The resulting specification will give sufficient detail to support full project delivery, including scope, cost plan (pre-tender estimate), and detailed design programme. The Chapel Building is a locally listed building / within a conservation area.

Constructed in 1961 the Chapel Building is steel framed with masonry and 'Crittall' glazed cladding sections. The main roof is a steeply pitched concrete pan tile cladding over a slaters felt to soft wood batten and close boarding, with four lead lined valley sections and eight lead lined internal gutter sections to the gables where the tiles and ridges are all bedded into position on a mortar base. All pitched sections discharge onto the flat roofs.

Primary Requirement - Original Roof Replacement Design (Pitched and Flat)

- Undertake necessary preliminary investigation / assessment of roof areas to enable subsequent activities and design.

- Subject to University agreement on concept design proposals, provide full specification to RIBA 4 level, to feed directly into business case approvals, and subsequent tender activity. The resulting specification will give sufficient detail to support full project delivery.

- Provision of pre-tender estimate level cost plan.

- Provision of detailed design programme.

Provide recommendations and options for upgrades that would provide increased energy efficiency and consumption, and to 'futureproof' the work, allowing for thermal modelling if required.

- Noting the above point as example, proposals will include for all required specialist disciplines, such as structural engineering, to feed into the design.

- Provide recommendations to improve life expectancy or longevity of the system to be included.

- The above will be provided in a format that can be used for subsequent business case development activity, and to enable tender activity.

Additional, and separate optional proposals, are welcomed on treatment of the glazed facades, and floor remedial work. (Please see the tender documents for full detail of these).
