Damp Works Consultancy Framework

The Lead Consultant, assisted by the Design Team members as necessary, will: • Ensure that the proposed Works contract is fully designed by the IDT and detailed tender documents are prepared. The use of provisional sums is to be limited to those items which are not capable of being designed in advance. Where it is proposed to transfer design responsibility to the Contractor this will only be permitted where it has been agreed in advance in writing with the Contracting Authority. • Assist the Contracting Authority in confirming the scope of works and identifying key stakeholders and support the Contracting Authority with stakeholder consultation. • Provide a detailed report for each property surveyed including thermal imagery findings, humidity levels and damp meter readings. • The survey data must be presented within each report through graphs or charts, showing findings in comparison to acceptable norms. • The report must also clearly identify the source of any damp or mould identified during the Lead Consultants survey. • Agree programme timelines with the Contracting Authority and provide monthly updates on the overall programme. • Assess, manage and control project costs and provide monthly financial updates. • Manage design development and co-ordination
