Temporary Works Project Manager

Successful grant applications have been made to the Welsh Government and the National Lottery Heritage Fund in order to secure funding to deliver the project. The scheme is currently being developed through RIBA Stage 4 with a view to engage a contractor and commence site operations in August 2024.

In addition to the overall refurbishment objectives, one of the more complicated aspects of the project to manage will revolve around project planning and the need to ensure that the stall holders are able to continue trading during the construction period. Previous options appraisals and consultation with the traders has determined that they will continue to trade in the market as the building is refurbished in distinct phases. During each phase, a section of the traders will need to be provided with suitable temporary accommodation that allows them to trade from the street outside.

To date, an anticipated programme has indicated provisionally that each stall holder is likely to be displaced for up to approximately 3-4 months across a 2 year construction period, though there are some key exceptions to this. The traders will need to be relocated to short term temporary trading accommodation sited close to the market eg Trinity Street & Working Street. It is anticipated that a series of different temporary units will be hired (or bought if better value is provided) to accommodate the traders.
