This project involves demolishing an old building, constructing a new life sciences block, and refurbishing an existing facility. Simultaneously, it enhances biodiversity and supports the college curriculum.

Efficient project delivery and stakeholder coordination.

Leveraging our expertise ensures seamless coordination among multiple stakeholders on this project for Chesterfield College.

This includes working with the local authority, plus managing in-house and external consultants effectively.

Our role also includes overseeing the demolition of an outdated building, constructing a state-of-the-art life sciences block, and refurbishing existing facilities.

Utilising the Procure Partnerships Framework, we efficiently manage procurement and maintain rigorous budget control.

This comprehensive approach supports the college’s objectives and leads to exceptional project outcomes.

Collaborative approach and risk management as a continuous process.

Stakeholder feedback was integrated into this building’s design process as a result of our bespoke communication strategy. We continuously emphasise collaboration and clear communication, ensuring all considerations are understood and stakeholders updated.

To reduce risks, from the outset we engaged contractors early, benefiting from their buildability insights.

We advised on a single-stage design and build procurement approach to minimise risk and maintain design continuity.

With the project funded by the DfE, we maintain rigorous cost control to ensure the budget is managed effectively throughout the project lifecycle.

Frequent design reviews and ground condition surveys further ensure project stability and success.
