Foss House:

Is a purpose-built block of flats. Flats are accessed via a front entrance door on the front (south-east) elevation which leads to an internal communal area. There is a rear entrance door to the north-west elevation. The building was constructed in the 1950’s and is similar in design to Elmfield House and Garlands House. The building abuts the pedestrian ramp to the basement of Garlands House. The building was constructed in the 1950s.

Garlands House:

Is a purpose-built block of flats. Flats are accessed via a front entrance door on the front (south-east) elevation which leads to an internal communal area. There is a rear entrance door to the north-west elevation. Below this block is a basement area that contains 17No. individual storage cupboards, accessible off a central corridor.

Knoll House:

Is a purpose-built block of flats. This is the largest block on the estate and flats are accessed via one of four entrances to the main elevation. Flats on the front (north-west) elevation are accessed via a series of open balconies. Flats on the rear elevation are accessed via a communal entrance door and internal corridors. The building was constructed in the 1950s.

The roof structures are similar to all accessed blocks across the Estate. Each of the blocks has a cut softwood timber roof, complete with hipped ends. The roofs are finished in interlocking clay tiles, over a sarking membrane. To the perimeter of all roofs, water discharges into a parapet gutters into hoppers on the building face.

2.0 Scope of Works

The scope of works identified in the Client Brief and our observations are included below:

Element Condition Survey

Work Required Condition Surveys necessary to establish the full scope of worksThe Service Provider is to acquaint themselves with the various condition surveys carried out to date on behalf of CWH (contained within this Client Brief) and satisfy themselves that the contents of same provide all information necessary in order to inform and identify the full scope of works required. Should additional surveys be required the Service Provider is to identify these within their PEP, together with estimated costs for same. Pre-Start Condition Surveys A condition survey is to be carried out within all areas likely to be affected by the working areas by the Service Provider which shall contain written and photographic evidence of the existing conditions. The Service Provider is to identify any areas of concern that may result in additional works being necessary, together with proposed remedial recommendations, within the scope of works. The condition

3.3 Design Process including Quality Checking and Monitoring Arrangements

United Living will appoint our Design Coordinator to oversee and coordinate design information between the parties.

Our Design Team will comprise United Living’s technical team, Design Coordinator and the specialist consultant & subcontractors identified for each task. Our focus will be to:

Develop realistic design programme linked to task procurement & construction requirements;

Understand CWH requirements and brief and the key issues for stakeholders;

Promote Value Engineering considering all issues that will directly benefit the Task,

client & residents;

Promote a team ethos along with excellent communication and knowledge sharing,

designing out risk to ensure design proposals are cost effective and practical.

Contracts Manager will implement regular meetings & workshops using the “United Way”; a structured framework of procedures to provide consistency of delivery. Progress of design Tasks will be monitored against our Design Management Tracker. We will check design solutions for:

Compliance with Client Brief; CWH requirements and any statutory controls

Value Engineering Opportunities; adding value; streamlining processes; repair/

maintenance costs;

Life cycle cost economies e.g. product selection, guarantees material durability;

Sustainability: product longevity, social sustainability; social value initiatives etc.

Design co-ordination and Risk mitigation (development of Risk Register)

Contracts Manager and commercial team will ensure cost controls and site activities are considered so that the right solution is adopted with safe systems of work. Key to design development will be to ensure the Client Team is fully engaged. CWH will be invited to all design workshops, review meetings and formal Design Team Meetings to ensure that CWH requirements are met.

Design Compliance/ Quality Checking and monitoring procedures will include:

Only appointing consultants/ specialist subcontractors competent for their role with

subcontract agreements fully aligned to CWH Partnering contract with clear scope of

services agreements;

Collateral Warranty agreements and insurances at required levels;

Design Review Checklist - used to identify any design conflicts / gaps; used to inform

risk register

Design start up meeting to review design tasks, agree key stage client sign off for

design development

Establish Design Responsibility Matrix

Identify immediate key deliverables e.g. preparing planning application; investigative surveys;

Agree meeting review dates and reporting

Project Execution PlanS149 – Carlton Hill Internal & external refurbishment

Page 18 of 25

Design Coordinator will use a Design Management Tracker to coordinate consultant

and subcontractor design input and to provide key dates for issue of information;

Regular Design Team meetings to: monitor progress against programme / Design

Management Tracker e.g. planning application submission; surveys; preparing

specifications for business case tendering; review headline issues & agree action;

Review compliance with Client requirements; review risk register; consider value

engineering opportunities;

Aconex document management system used to manage and coordinate all design

information; fully auditable and will track version control; manage procurement and

business case tender returns;

3.4 Access Strategy

Scaffold will be required to almost all elevations to allow the safe installation of windows, brickwork cleaning and works at roof level.

Scaffolding generally:

Fully designed scaffolding including advanced weekly independent scaffold inspections

Working lifts at all levels including roof parapet

Debris Netting to all elevations

Double boarding at 1st floor level

Fans over all doorways and walkways

Lockable ladder access hatches

Scaffold alarms to all first-floor levels

Foam sleeves to all standards at ground level

Mobile Elevated Working Platforms (MEWPs) will need to be utilised on the Bradby House

car park entrance elevation. MEWP’s will need to be vehicle mounted to allow access to the

car park area whilst works progress.

A traffic management plan will need to be implemented whilst scaffold erection is taking place due to locating the materials as close as possible to the working areas. This will be developed further and detailed in the Project Proposals Document. Traffic Management Plan will form a part of the Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan.

Page 24 of 25

8.0 Communications Plan

We have identified a dedicated resident liaison team for Carlton Hill. The team will act as the catalyst for communication, although every member of the team, including operatives, has a role in the customer journey and are trained in their part in effectively communicating with residents.

The team includes a Resident Liaison Officer (RLO), who will be based on site for the duration of the project to provide a proactive service for the residents and lease holders in terms of timely and accurate information, the RLO daily visits, weekly/monthly events, communication and delivery of tailored service plans for vulnerable residents, complaints management to satisfactory resolution, attendance and reporting of performance to resident groups and general support for all residents. Where colour choices are available – for example for internal communal areas and front entrance doors, will liaise with CWH to understandany commonality requirements across the 5 blocks and organise the ballot, providing colour samples to enable choices to be made. RLO role is vital in achieving good access to ensure the integrity of the programme, particularly where windows are being replaced and access into the dwelling is required.

The RLO will be supported by Resident Liaison Manager. We will ensure leaseholder’s needs are fully met in terms of communication and will work closely with the Lessee Services Team to support statutory consultation and events.

The team will be equipped with 4G enabled i-pads running our contract management system FLAG. This technology facilitates a truly mobile workforce where they have every ‘plot’ file at their fingertips enabling us to respond to every resident question immediately without having to return to the office.

All communication will comply with the CWH ‘Project related communications and resident and leaseholder engagement requirements’ as detailed in the contract documents whilst taking into consideration local themes and concerns.

Our starting point will be liaison with CWH teams to ensure we create a two-way communication flow. We will engage with the CWH team, prior to any communication with residents/leaseholders to share information on the works and understand tried and tested methodologies for communication in the area etc. It is our understanding that there is a very strong resident group led by Leo Falek via the St John's Wood estate office.

We will write to every household affected by the Carlton Hill works, introducing United Living and inviting every resident and leaseholder to an introductory ‘Meet the Contractor’ event where we will introduce the team, describe the works. In addition to the Meet Contractor events we would also hold a surgery for leaseholder where they would have the opportunity to discuss the works on a one to one basis, we propose these are jointly hosted by United Living & Citywest Homes to enable us to be able to field all queries that may arise. This will enable us to provide information specific to the dwelling with regard to the work, access arrangements and general timings and practicalities.

Following the introductory events, we will contact Carlton Hill Tenants and Leaseholders to invite them to a Customer Workshop, hosted by our Resident Liaison Manager. We will use the session to capture lessons learnt and resident’s experiences from other works. We will also develop the customer communication plan and relevant communication media. From there, we will tailor the full suite of letters, resident welcome pack, newsletter templates, energy efficiency booklet,

Project Execution PlanS149 – Carlton Hill Internal & external refurbishment works

Page 25 of 25

satisfaction survey, aftercare brochure and provide the suite of communication to the Customer Group for sign off. Our communication Plan for the Carlton Hill contract can be summarised as follows;
