Description

Norfolk County Council requires four technical advisors (2 MEP and another 2 Architectural) to provide oversight, client side, of main contractor designs as part of the Councils Future Ready Buildings programme that will provide a low carbon, fit for use estate. A main contractor has been appointed at the beginning of RIBA Stage 2, on a two-stage design and build basis to progress the designs up to the end of Stage 4 and subsequently to carry out the works. There will be no client-side multi-disciplinary design team who ordinarily under a design and build contract would have completed RIBA stages 1-3 performance specifications.
