Project Management Services for the Repair, Restoration and Redevelopment of the Padiham Townscape Heritage Exemplar Scheme

Burnley Council requires the services of a suitable multi-disciplined company or consortia, experienced in historic building repair and restoration to support the implementation of Council's 'Exemplar Scheme'. The role of the Consultant is to manage all aspects of the development/design and delivery of the scheme in partnership with the Council, whilst ensuring value for money and that high standards of building repair and conservation are achieved.

Additional information: Burnley Council has been successful in securing National Lottery Heritage Funding for a Townscape Heritage (TH) Project within Padiham town centre. The Padiham TH scheme focuses on a compact area of mostly Victorian buildings predominately in retail use on Burnley Rd, an area known locally as 'the hill'.

The area represents a significant cluster of buildings of architectural merit within the Conservation Area, including two listed buildings and a number of locally listed buildings.

The Padiham TH is a five-year scheme totaling approx. £2million which is in its third year of delivery and includes three key strands: Building works - through grant funding available to property owners towards external repair and restoration works such as repairs to roofs, rainwater goods brick/stonework and the reinstatement of architectural detail including windows, doors and traditional shopfronts.

Public realm works - starting in 2020, there will be significant environmental improvements to the town centre including upgrading of paving surfaces, traffic calming measure and decluttering of redundant street furniture.

Community Engagement - Throughout the lifetime of the programme a series of community events/activities will be delivered along with heritage skills training opportunities to engage the local community in heritage and conservation. The TH scheme also includes an Exemplar Project. Led by the Council, this will be a lead-by-example approach in building restoration. The Council has recently acquired a vacant pair of buildings within the TH area which are currently in a poor state of repair, 33-35 Burnley Rd, and wishes to undertake a full repair and restoration scheme to provide two ground floor units for retail use and conversion of the upper floors for residential use.

The Consultant will be expected to undertake and coordinate all aspects of the scheme, including:

Inspection of the condition of the buildings, undertaking surveying, measuring and coordinating any specialist surveying of the properties that may be required. Preparing plans/drawings including joinery detail and making any amendments as necessary to the planning application made in April 2019 (Ref FULR3/2019/0249). Preparing a full schedule of works/bill of quantities to be priced against. Tendering the works, reviewing of tenders and appointing a suitable contractor/s to undertake the works.

Overseeing the works when on site - supervision, administration, valuations, snagging and sign-off.

To work closely with the Council's Project Team on all aspects of the development and delivery of the scheme.
