It is envisaged that the Services will primarily be used to support Strategic Estate 'Business as Usual' projects with construction values typically ranging from 25k GBP to 3M GBP. Services will include but not be limited to demands on the following building surveying competencies: design and specification; conservation and heritage; building and measured surveys; commercial management of construction; asset management (including workspace planning) and maintenance management. The Services also encompass provision of underpinned estimates for minor works projects and / or remedial works; Building Information Modelling [BIM] management; undertaking of the role Principal Designer role under CDM 2015; provision of advice on Building Regulations and other statutory requirements as may apply to the Parliamentary Estate (and as may be required by the Authority); undertaking the role of NEC3 Project Manager / Supervisor for minor works contracts and securing and expediting specialist building services under what is envisaged to be a 'single point of responsibility' delivery model.
