ACT Property Developments Limited required the refurbishment and adaptation of the existing Oldham County Court building to create 42 new one and two bedroom apartments, together with all associated external works, drainage and incoming services. The development involved the conversion of an existing building, requiring careful consideration of design development risk, provisional sums and value engineering to ensure the scheme remained commercially viable.
Neo Projects Limited was appointed by ACT Property Developments Limited to act as Employer’s Agent, providing both pre contract and post-contract services under a JCT Design and Build 2016 Contract with Contract Amendments.
Neo also provided advice on contract risk, warranties, planning responsibilities and procurement strategy prior to contract execution. Whilst onsite, multiple variations were implemented due to the nature of the project. Neo provided cost analysis to ensure that budgets were in line with Client expectations and monthly progress meetings were accurately documented to ensure that progress onsite was operating efficiently so no extreme programme delays occurred.
The scheme achieved Practical Completion in February 2023 and was seamlessly handed over to the client.
