The University of Sussex New Teaching Building and Car Park

This project has a total contract value of £10 million and comprises the construction of a stand-alone lecture theatre building that provides two state-of-the-art lecture facilities each accommodating 150 persons. The two rooms can be linked together to provide a 300 person facility. In addition to the main theatres, there are a number of teaching and tutorial facilities housed within the building. To support the use of the building there is provision for a restaurant/coffee shop space, plus break out areas and toilet facilities. To enable this development the existing car park was replaced with a new open deck facility sympathetically cut into the surrounding hillside. BLB Surveyors is providing both Quantity Surveying and Project Management Services on this scheme.

Project Management

English Close Business Park

This was a brownfield development built upon an abandoned BT site. The project comprised site clearance, remediation and the subsequent development of 12 light industrial units that were intended for re-sale. The project was complicated by the fact that the vacant site abutted Hove Fire Station and was adjacent to the prison serviceís transport facilities, meaning that access and egress were difficult. This was a private development of £2.5million where BLB Surveyors provided both Project Management and Quantity Surveying Services.

Mulberry House

This was a new build project in mid Sussex, where BLB Surveyors provided Project Management and Quantity Surveying Services to a private client. It is an interesting example of a new building constructed entirely of natural stone but with sustainable supporting elements such as ground source heat pump mechanical services and timber cladding to ancillary buildings. In addition, this building combines traditional construction techniques with modern elements such as structural glazing.

BOC Edwards Alterations and Refurbishments

This project involved working on two sites that were distant by some 100m but required close co-ordination between the existing operations that ran continually throughout the contract. The works comprised the refurbishment of the existing spaces and the replacement of the existing floor slabs in order to support greatly increased live loads from new plant and equipment. BLB Surveyors provided Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying and Planning Supervisor Services. In addition we were responsible for the programming and delivery of the new machinery and plant valued in excess of £4million which were bespoke made and delivered from Japan without any opportunity of delay.
