Overview

Rider Levett Bucknall was appointed by British Energy Coast West Cumbria to develop a solution to the anticipated demand for construction skills in the region. Building upon the existing expertise within West Cumbria’s nuclear industry the vision is to transform West Cumbria into a centre of excellence for energy technologies which will include off shore, tidal and wave, biomass, anaerobic digestion and waste from energy.

BECWC recognised that in order to respond to the anticipated demand for the skills needed it will be necessary to invest in facilities that will be able to train the future workforce in time for the increased demand starting in 2014 and peaking in 2020.

Rider Levett Bucknall worked with key stakeholders to prepare a HMT Five Case Model business case that included a fully detailed investment appraisal modelled over a twenty-five year period. An extensive range of options were considered and ranked by applying an evaluation weighting that was jointly agreed at a workshop which was attended by all major stakeholders.

The top three options were fully developed by the preparation of indicative whole life costs including capital, life cycle and operation over a twenty-five year period. Revenue assumptions were also accounted for within the investment appraisal.

The resultant preferred option was the development of a new build facility on the existing Lakes College site. The design comprises a simple concept of two industrial type buildings on either side of a link corridor. The industrial buildings will comprise a steel frame supported by concrete pad foundations and an in situ concrete floor with cladding to the walls and roof.

The proposed building aesthetic is designed to reflect the intended use. The link block delivers a statement that the facility is a Centre of Excellence. It will have a clearly defined, modern appearance. The workshop areas, in contrast, have a more industrial feel, utilising materials common to these disciplines, creating a realistic workplace environment both internally and externally.

The Park Hill complex was built in the late 1950s / early 1960s as part of a comprehensive and iconic public housing programme. The 13-hectare complex fell into decline in the late 1980’s, but is now undergoing a major programme of heritage restoration and regeneration works.

Rider Levett Bucknall was appointed in 2005 by English Partnerships and continues to be retained by Homes and Communities Agency to undertake a detailed financial appraisal of the development proposal submitted by Urban Splash, Registered Social Landlord Great Places Housing Group, Sheffield City Council as land owner and English Partnerships (now Homes and Communities Agency), the key funding body.

A highly complex project from a funding and financing perspective, the Park Hill development brings together multiple public and private sector financiers and stakeholders, each with differing eligibility criteria, output requirements and timescales.

As part of the Economic Appraisal of the project, Rider Levett Bucknall worked jointly with each key stakeholder to substantiate public and private sector value for money investment criteria. In addition to a normal cost value appraisal role, the brief evolved to include the development of a financial model capable of sensitivity analysis and generation of key value for money indicators and outputs aligned to the individual requirements of each stake-holder.

Rider Levett Bucknall is retained as project monitors on behalf of all public sector partners to ensure compliant delivery of the scheme within budget, cost and quality parameters, and in accordance with the terms of the development and funding agreements.

The partners were keen to ensure the on-going economic and environmental sustainability of the estate over a 120 year lifecycle. Rider Levett Bucknall led on the preparation of a whole life cost modelling process to establish an appropriate service charge and sinking fund provision to cover the on-going operation, maintenance and replacement costs. The modelling process also allowed modelling of the estates carbon footprint and energy requirements over this period and informed the specification selection process, targeted at minimising both these elements.

“Rider Levett Bucknall has offered advice on various aspects of delivery, sometimes beyond their original brief, which has enabled a better project outcome.” Graham Dobbs, English Partnerships.

Overview

Plumstead Manor School is a large inner city school for girls with a mixed sixth form and over 1,800 students and 300 staff. The existing school, as a part of the Building Schools for the Future Programme, was designated as a design, build and maintain project; it comprised elements of new build and approximately 80% as remodel and refurbish with a capital cost of circa £27m.

Rider Levett Bucknall was appointed to prepare the financial model for the life cycle works and liaise with the Facility Management arm of the school.

The firm used Total Cost Modelling to assemble and process the life cycle cost information for the project. As so much of the project was subject to adaptation and refurbishment Rider Levett Bucknall has, through TCM, assembled a complete audit trail of all of the projected works for the 15/25 year periods.

In addition TCM was used to obtain the two credits for the Life cycle BREEAM submission as the software generated the whole life cost over the periods of both 25 and 60 years and demonstrated the Net Present Values as well as costs of the works.

Professional Advisor / Project Monitor

Overview

Rider Levett Bucknall was approached by the Heritage Lottery Fund to undertake a Mentoring role from Stage 1, to see the Grantee through the process of submitting their Stage 2 bid for HLF funding. We subsequently undertook a Project Appraisal on the Stage 2 application, and following a successful HLF Stage 2 Award, were retained to act as Project Monitors and Professional Advisors through to project completion.

The project comprised the refurbishment of a Grade II Listed park in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire, Bradford, with the restoration of existing structures within the Park. The bandstand was reinstated, with the design informed by key features from Saltaire’s history. A significant level of community consultation was involved, to create a bespoke design true to Saltaire, incorporating a lighting display. The project also included the development of educational facilities, new interpretation material, play area, a refurbished café, Park Lodge and Shelters.

The project is a high profile project within Saltaire, and was led by Bradford Metropolitan District Council.
