Q

Can you explain how single-stage and two-stage tendering are different?

A

Two stage tenders generally take longer.
Single tender- all documents are issued at one and contractor submit a bid.
Two stage – takes longer where the contractors submit initial proposals, the client then shortlists the contractors.
Typically used on larger projects.

Q
  • Why was a Principal Designer required on this project?
A

To ensure compliance with CDM and BSA- to plan, monitor, manage and coordinate the design/compliance with Building regulation.

23
Q
  • What led you to suspect that the roof was asbestos?
A

Due to previous experience, and working on similar estates.

24
Q
  • Why did you instruct a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey?
A

To ensure there was not asbestos in any other areas and to confirm the roof was asbestos.

25
Q
  • Explain the new overcoating system you were considering applying to the roof.
A

It was a Triflex overcoating system, liquid applied coating.

26
Q
  • How would the over cladding system have been installed and fixed?
A

Inspect roofs integrity, attach new mechanical framework.

27
Q
  • What type of guarantee did the over cladding and full replacement options provide?
A

It was a material and workmanship warrantee, which mainly covers the material and installation which is signed of by the insurer. With transferability to a new owner if required.

28
Q
  • What type of surface would be required for the overcoating to have a guarantee?
A

Good structural integrity, low moisture content, Clean and dry surface, blisters, cracks to be repaired first.

29
Q
  • What works were involved with providing a new roof?
A

SE inspection. Cleaning the exiting frame. Some fire stopping works near the office area.

30
Q
  • Why did the EPC rating need to be upgraded?
A

It was an EPC D and this was to increase the lettability and to comply with my clients ESG goals.

31
Q
  • What is the VRF system you refer to and why was it required?
A

Heat pump VRF system.
Heating and cooling.
One outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units
Switches between heating and cooling
More energy efficient then traditional systems.

32
Q

How is a VRF system better then other AC systems. ?

A

It is generally more energy efficient compared to other systems.
It has good zoning capacity.
Space saving is good and it is known to be quite.
Uses a heat recovery syste,

33
Q
  • Who prepared the performance specification for the solar PV?
A

Clients appointed M&E Consultant.

34
Q
  • Why was the fact that the roof had been previously overcoated a disadvantage to doing the same again?
A

It was the state of the roof and a warrantee may not have been provided.

35
Q
  • Why would it have been a disadvantage that the asbestos remained when considering option1?
A

Friability from below, future proofing the property, no need for management surveys

36
Q
  • You state that the over cladding was only 20% more cost effective than a new roof. What was the difference in life span?
A

Depends on the life span of the structural integrity of the existing roof, on this occasion 10-15 years with no issues.

37
Q
  • What was the disadvantage of accessibility issues in relation to option 2?
A

Planning application required.

38
Q
  • How significant was the investment for option 3? Was this not offset in some way by the longevity compared to the other solutions?
A

Yes, the offset of the longevity.

39
Q
  • Why is the requirement for a structural assessment a disadvantage for option 3?
A

This could reveal potential structural enhancements.

40
Q
  • Do you believe that option 1 was ever a realistic option to consider?
A

In the short term, yes.

41
Q
  • Based on the client’s key requirement of preserving the longevity of the property, do you believe that option 1 and 2 were ever realistic options?
A

Yes. They were possible options and the client require budget options as the fund management had to approve this by making an informed decision.

42
Q
  • Why could you only get a 20 year guarantee for the new roof?
A

Typically expect a 20 year Guarantee, I did ask if there was a possibility of a longer guarantee.

Insurance backed for 20 years
Rooflights 30 years
Roof panels 40 years
5 years on the gutters

43
Q
  • Explain what you mean when you say that option 1 may not futureproof the property for a long period.
A

Due to the EPC C minimum requirements by 2030.

44
Q
  • Was it really necessary to upgrade the EPC rating to an A rating?
A

Yes, by 2050 MEES regulation will change and 0 carbon requirements.

45
Q
  • How does the installation of a VRF system increase let-ability
A

Unit is more attractive, Comfort of occupier, it is a quiet system, energy efficiency

46
Q
  • What were the implications of the PV on the roof structure?
A

Loads had been calculated and there were no implications.

47
Q
  • Had you just installed solar PV and LED lighting, what improvements would have been made to the EPC rating?
A

It would have been an EPC B

48
Q
  • You state that you recommended to the client the disadvantages of installing solar PV, provide further detail on these disadvantages?
A

Construction design and phase implications, cost implications, future maintenance/cleaning.

49
Q

Did those disadvantages of installing the PV outweigh the long term gains from installing the solar PV?

A

Yes

50
Q
  • Did you consider if the solar PV could be installed at a later date, even when the property was occupied?
A

It could have been, however there was not a tenant lined up for the unit so now was the right time. It could also create disruption.

51
Q
  • Why was only a performance specification prepared for the solar PV and not a detailed specification?
A

Due to time restraints, the performance specification was an indication of what the client wanted and the contractor was to prepare a design for this.

52
Q
  • How did you assess that an additional 14 days would be enough, given the addition of the solar PV to the tender?
A

14 days was enough for the contractors to receive new costs based on the performance specification.

53
Q

IS there EOT in Minor works ?

A

NO but there is in ICD and SBC

54
Q
  • Why were there an additional three weeks added to the construction programme for the installation of the PV?
A

This was to relieve the contractor of the pressure of completing in a time constrain manner. Although the project could have been completed earlier if needed.
