Capital & Major Projects Team The Capital Projects team contains professionally qualified project managers from disciplines including Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Structural Engineering, Architecture and CAD Design; the team also has a small group of project support staff who work directly with the project managers and provide the main channel for liaison with internal client sponsors. The team are involved with the development and delivery of a wide range of project types, sizes and budget costs including internal refurbishments, building infrastructure upgrades, complex accommodation moves/ adaptations/fit-outs and new builds. A common feature of many projects is that they are carried out within buildings parts of which will of necessity remain in use/occupation. Individual project values can typically range from £150,000 through to £6m, with some new builds in the £10-15m range. The team are responsible for the full project development cycle from the initial client liaison and briefing required to prepare business cases, through the tendering process and construction phase to final completion and occupation. Smaller projects may be developed largely in-house, whilst larger projects will be managed through the appointment of external consultants or consultant teams as appropriate for the size, cost and technical complexity of each individual project. The current project workload of the team includes the following examples: • Reading - major refurbishment and fit-out of an office building on the outskirts of Reading to replace an existing 1960’s police station • Forensics Department – feasibility study for a new-build development to accommodate a major operational support function in Oxfordshire 9
