PROJECT INTRODUCTION Project:

Re purposing of the Grade II Stephenson Works building into a creative space geared toward traditional photography.

Client:

Nikon Corporation

Statement of Need: Nikon Corporations is one of the world’s leading developers and manufacturers of cameras, photography equipment and accessories. Its UK division wishes to have a facility that will function as a traditional photographic darkroom and studio. It will serve both professional and amateurs and function as an educational facility to those interested in the art of traditional photography

16

RIBA PLAN OF WORKS This report is based on the RIBA Plan of Work: Multi -Disciplinary Services 2007.

The full plan of woks does not fit my project of working in an existing building thus it has been amended to fit the project. However the Plan of Works that were included has been followed closely to ensure that the design will mesh with the other participants of this project.

CLIENT’S STRATEGIC BRIEF ‘Design a facility for the task of re purposing and creative reuse within the Historic Stephenson Works building. The nature of the re purposing facility should be individually defined as part of the design development process and should be supported by research. Establish a coherent design philosophy that drives your approach and language.

This space will act as a centre for traditional photography and will provide place for people to meet, work, share and learn. Equally, your scheme will be open to the public and will offer opportunities to support the learning of traditiional photography or provide job skills training program, to give discarded items a new life guided by designers and crafts people.

It should operate day and night and the nature of its operation should transform accordingly. It will need to provide food and drink and should cater for quick, casual use, prolonged stay as well as events.

Your proposal could look at alternative ways of providing the required provision, could be mixed programme and could add additional features which may relate to a specific group.

You should consider the following accommodation schedule…

Entrance reception Workshops/studios Retail Education + multi-purpose spaces Event/exhibition/gallery space Toilets Staff area/office Eatery/café/bar

17

PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICE This is to explain to the client the procedures that the Interior Architect will follow for the scheme. This proposed scope

INFORMATION COLLECTION The first step will be to assemble key information about the existing building/ site including: 1 measured drawings and photographic survey of building/site 2 any original building contract documents that may exist with key drawings being digitised 3 any building or services surveys that have been carried out since the buildings completion.

ASSEMBLE DESIGN TEAM Advice on the following should be sought: 1 cost and time estimating [quantity surveyor] 2 architectural design of any major proposed building alterations or new extensions [ Danso and Associates]

Client’s Requirements (RIBA Work Stages AB) Having assembled the design team, the next step will be to define Nikon’s requirements by doing the following: 1 identify and evaluate possible existing building(s) 2 compile a list of spaces to accommodate the required functions and prepare a room schedule 3 interview key staff to determine precise requirements for each space and prepare room requirements schedules 4 analyse desired adjacencies and prepare a space relationship diagram 5 prepare a planning diagram based on the space relationship diagram 6 provide the planning diagram to the quantity surveyor for the approximation of cost and time 7 assist Nikon to determine priorities in the light of the approximated costings and amend floor plans as necessary, perhaps with phasing 8 advise Nikon on alternative refurbishment and FF&E procurement strategies 9 prepare a creative spatial strategy illustrating the general design approach

Nikon Corporations,UK 1-60 Dowland House EN1 4UJ London 13 December 2014 Dear Ms Young Proposed Re-Purposing and Intervention to Stephenson Works Building Thank you for signing and returning the copies of the Letter of Appointment. I have dated both copies and returned one for your file.

Although the vendor’s estate agent prepared floor plans, they are not accurate enough for us to rely on, and so we will need to have measured drawings prepared for us to base our own drawings on. Before we do this, we need to know the precise extent of your ownership. Can you please ask your solicitor to send us a coloured copy of the plan in your title deeds. I would be grateful if he/she could advise if there are any restrictive covenants, easements, rights of light, etc. Over the site and ownership of walls on the boundaries. I will then arrange for three surveyors to provide quotations to carry out this work and then recommend one for you to employ.

As the premises share a common wall with two adjacent properties, you may have to obtain advice from a party wall surveyor. If so we will help you arrange this.

Having come to a conclusion regarding the brief, it is clear that the appointment of certain consultants should be appointed so that I can proceed in preparing a concept design with the benefit of their advice.

I therefore recommend the following consultants: Rowntree & Partners Ltd to carry out cost estimating and to provide periodic valuations of the work as it is being built.

W T Parson Associates Ltd to provide structural engineering services for the new extension to the first floor and where we plan to alter the structure of the existing building Treacle Ltd to provide heating, ventilation and electrical engineering services.

I have worked with these practices before and believe that they would provide you with a good service. Subject to your agreement, I will ask each of theses practices to contact you with regard to their terms of employment.

Yours Sincerely, Sandra Danso Sandra Ababio-Danso

Outline Specification

Temperature range:

The intention of the outline specification is provide information for cost estimating and to inform the client of the Architect’s intention as the project progresses.

There is no need to indicate details of workmanship unless it has an effect on the appearance of the materials proposed.

- chemical processes slows down or quit working below 60 degree Fahrenheit - water does not work the chemicals if its below 50 degree Fahrenheit - above 80 degree Fahrenheit the photo paper and film begin to melt Acoustics: - the intervention frames will be made of cross- laminate timber, which have a decent acoustic control for the purpose of the scheme. the acoustic requirements of the scheme aren’t strict due to the purpose being creative and low noise pollution. but the report from an Acoustic Engineer will be considered and incorporated into the scheme User Control: - user control of services is an integral part of the scheme. The light and temperature in dark room will be controlled entirely by the user. the light intensity in the workshop and studios will be controlled by the users also but control of the services of the other spaces will be controlled by the staff/building manager from the secured plant room

BUILDING CONTROL

PART G: SANITATION

Approved Documents

- Adequate sanitation facilities, that is, a toilet - Restrictions apply to who can install unvented hot water storage systems

They provide guidance about compliance in some of the more common building situation. Since the scheme involves an existing building, some approved documents do not apply.

The Approved documents provide advice and guidance on the standard required in buildings so that:PART B: FIRE SAFETY - Requires safe means of escape from the building PART C: RESISTANCE TO CONTAMINANTS & WATER - “Nothing should be growing on the ground covered by the building.

- avoiding excessively intrusive gas protective measures - ensuring that moisture ingress to the roof structure is limited and the roof can breathe4

PART H: DRAINAGE AND WASTE DISPOSAL - An adequate system to carry rainwater away from the roof of a building, for example, guttering carrying water to a sewer - A cesspool or settlement tank must be impermeable to liquids and have adequate ventilation. It must also have means of access for emptying, not harm the health of any person and not contaminate water or water supply - An adequate system to carry water used for cooking, washing, toilet, bath or shower to a sewer cesspool or settlement tank must be in place PART J: COMBUSTION APPLIANCES & FUEL STORAGE SYSTEMS

- Where it is not possible to provide dedicated ventilation to pitched roofs it is important to seal existing service penetrations in the ceiling and to provide draught proofing to any loft hatches. Any new loft insulation should be kept sufficiently clear of the eaves so that any adventitious ventilation is not reduced.

- Any heating appliances, boilers or similar devices must work safely, efficiently and be provided with sufficient air supply to burn correctly, protecting against the risk of pollution and ill health, whilst associated chimneys or flues must be safe to use and protect the building and fuel storage from a risk of fire. Building owners and users need to be given information regarding the safe use of the appliances, flues and equipment. Where solid fuel appliances are installed in dwellings, a carbon monoxide detector must be fitted

PART D: TOXIC SUBSTANCES

PART K: PROTECTION FROM FALLING

- Insulating materials inserted into cavity walls can give off fumes. Prevention must be taken to stop these fumes reaching occupants of the building.

- Stairs, ramps, floors and balconies shall be adequately guarded

PART E: RESISTANCE TO PASSAGE OF SOUND - “Floors and walls between domestic buildings should have a certain resistance to the passage of sound PART F: VENTILATION - “The building should be adequately ventilated to provide a healthy and comfortable environment, whilst protecting against the risk of air borne pollution”

PART L: CONSERVATION OF FUEL & POWER - The aim for these buildings should be to improve energy efficiency as far as is reasonably practicable without prejudicing the character of the building or increasing the risk of long-term deterioration PART M: ACCESS TO & USE OF BUILDING -“Reasonable provision shall be made for people with disabilities at entrances to and within new dwellings and buildings 45

- For people with disabilities to gain access and use the building -If toilets are provided, reasonable provision shall be made available for people with disabilities PART N: GLAZING MATERIAL & PROTECTION - Glazing that people come into contact with whilst in a building should, if broken, break in a way unlikely to cause injury, resist impact without breaking or be shielded or protected from impact - Buildings, other than dwellings that have transparent glazing which people come into contact with while moving around a building, must have features to make it apparent. Windows that can be opened must be operated safely and provision made for safe accessible cleaning PART P: ELECTRICAL SAFETY - Electrical work should be carried out by a contractor or installer who is registered with a competent person scheme (if using this route then building control are notified under the competent person scheme)

46

PROCUREMENT, TENDERING & FORMS OF CONTRACT 47

CONSTRUCTION (DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT) CDM REGULATIONS To address the problem of unsatisfactory safety reports, The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was established and the Construction (Design and Management)2007 (CDM) Regulations were enacted.

All clients have duties under the CDM Regu;lations, save for ‘domestic’ clients. A domestic client, for the purposes of the CDM Regulations, is a person or persons who lives or will live in the premises where the building work is being carried out , and such premises must not relate to any trade, business or other undertaking.

Although a domestic client does not have duties under the CDM Regulations, those who work for them on construction projects do. On all projects clients will need to: - check competence and resources of all appointees - ensure that there are suitable management arrangements for the project welfare facilities

PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES While there are a wide range of procurement strategies available, the most appropriate for a project of this size is :

Obtaining Competitive Tenders Advantage - the client receives the most competitive price for the job - it is useful when the building is quite and builders are keen to tender - builders/contractors often have previous experience working with existing buildings and thus know how to work around them Disadvantage - in busy times they wont risk the cost of tendering - the lowest tenders will have submitted the lowest price because of an error in pricing and will then cut corners to avoid making a loss *(Interior Design Job Book,2010.p 186)

- allow sufficient time and resources for all stages - provide pre-construction information to designer and constructors Under the CDM Regulations, all projects where the construction phase is likely to take more than30 days or involve more than 500 person-days of works are ‘notifiable’ . Where projects are notifiable, non-domestic clients must: - appoint a CDM Co-ordinator - appoint a principal contractor - ensure that construction work does not start unless a construction phase is in place and there are adequate welfare facilities on site - provide information relating to the health and safety file to the CDM Co-ordinator - retain and provide access to the health and safety file.

48

FORM OF CONTRACT It is important to determine which form of contract between the client and the main contractor should be used. If a client is unsure which contract is best suited then should consult a specialist solicitor and/or quantity surveyor.

For the size of this project, the most suitable form of contract is the INTERMEDIATE BUILDING

CONTRACT.

This contract is more detailed and contains more extensive control procedures than the Minor Works Building Contract (MW) but is less detailed than the Standard Building Contract (SBC) This form of contract is used where: - where the proposed building works are of simple content involving the normal, recognised basic trades And skills of the industry, without building service installations of a complex nature or other complex specialist work; - where the works are designed by or on behalf of the Employer, fairly detailed contract provisions are necessary and the Employer is to provide the Contractor with drawings and bills of quantities, a specification or work schedules to define adequately the quantity and quality of the work; and - where an Architect/Contract Administrator and Quantity Surveyor are to administer the conditions.

- where the works are to be carried out in sections; - by both private and local authority employers; - where provisions are required to cover named specialists.

This contract requires the Employer through his professional consultants to provide at tender stage a set of drawings together with another document. Where the other document consists of bills of quantities or work schedules, the Contractor is required to have priced it.

Where the other document consists of a specification, the Contractor is required either to have priced it or, if only a lump sum is quoted, then also to have supplied a Schedule of Rates or a Contract Sum Analysis. The priced bills, specification or work schedules or, as the case may be, the Schedule of Rates or Contract Sum Analysis provide price data for the valuation of variations.

The contract conditions and procedures are less detailed than those of the Standard Building Contract. All subcontractors, whether chosen by the Contractor or named by the Employer, are domestic, and their performance is the responsibility of the Contractor, although the Employer does assume additional risks in respect of Named Sub-Contractors whose contracts are terminated because of insolvency. For Named Sub-Contractors, the use of the Intermediate Named Sub-Contract documents is required. Even though a Named Sub-Contractor is a domestic sub-contractor, the Contractor is not responsible for any design carried out by a Named SubContractor *JCT (2011) ‘Deciding on the Appropriate JCT contract

2011�, Sweet & Maxwell, London. [Online] available at (/http://www.jctltd.co.uk/docs/Deciding%20on%20the%20appropriate%20JCT%20contract%202011%20Sept11.pdf)

With this contract the payment is based on lump sum with monthly interim payments.

49

INTERMEDIATE SUB- CONTRACT with SUB-CONTRACTOR’S DESIGN (ICSub/D/A/ and ICSub/D/C) This sub-contract is for use only with the Intermediate Building Contract with contractor’s design and where the sub-contractor is designing.

The Intermediate Sub-Contract with sub-contractor’s design is published in two parts, namely, the Sub-Contract Agreement (ICSub/D/A), which includes the Recitals, Articles and Sub-Contract Particulars; and the Sub-Contract Conditions (ICSub/D/C).
