Project Description

In a delightful location on the fringes of a Cotswolds village and within a Conservation Area, this existing home was a combination of two 18th century stone cottages with a 1950's extension. 

The project proposed was a radical and imaginative retrofit, with a new extension that connects with both parts of the building in a natural, seamless way.  The result is a sculptural design that creates quirky spaces which suit modern living and a home with a hugely reduced carbon footprint. 

Zion's Hill has been shortlisted in the Home Extension of the Year category in this year's British Homes Awards.

This wonderful project involved the construction of a new build Manor House of circa 10,500 sq. ft. spread over three floors, on a sloping site.

The house was constructed using locally sourced rubble stone walling, accentuated with ashlar dressings and bronze windows.  Internally, extensive panelling and intricate plasterwork was used to walls and ceilings, along with locally sourced stone flooring.  Whilst the specification was very high, the client was keen to review and consider cost options on many of the internal elements of the project – and we therefore successfully cost-managed this project through to completion, whereby the initial contract sum and final account remained the same.

The project included the new build dwelling, along with extensive hard and soft landscaping and the renovation of an ancient pond.

An exposed oak frame acts as the skeleton for the building and there is an arts and crafts influence throughout the building, with intricate carvings to be found on French polished oak panels. The building includes a small kitchen and facilities, enabling the building to host functions and performances, if required. 

The highly bespoke nature of this project meant that we worked closely with both the client and individual “artisans” in successfully cost-managing the scheme.

The project was undertaken over a period of 18 months, completing in December 2016, both within programme and in accordance with the initial contract sum.

Walker Pritchard have a full understanding of Offices and Industrial premises, whether it be a new build or adaptions of existing. WP appreciate how the design of a building can greatly affect the productivity of a business and have gained indispensable knowledge of comfort heating and cooling, lighting and acoustics, all of which can be integrated to provide a sustainable building. More recently this has been credited where one of our projects was awarded the prestigious BREEAM ‘Excellent’ badge for energy-efficiency and sustainability.

Below are a few examples of our projects:

Walker Pritchard have comprehensive experience within the education sector, providing Quantity Surveying Services to a full range of projects which include primary, secondary, colleges and universities.

Walker Pritchard understand the challenging environment of completing a project in and around existing education facilities and we work with architects, designers and contractors, to ensure that minimal disruption is caused to the students and staff. This can often lead to projects being undertaken during half term and summer holidays in fast-track multi-site projects, all with strict programme deadlines and budget constraints.

Below are a few examples of our projects:

Walker Pritchard offers a comprehensive service to NHS commissioners, doctors and healthcare estates management which is characterised by the highest levels of personal responsibility, professionalism and enthusiasm. Through a single point of contact we ensure that any building and estates objective is achieved, on time and within budget.

Whether the Client is an NHS Trust, a Private healthcare provider, a Commissioning Board or a private GP Practice, we will engage enthusiastically to understand the objective, how the organisation works and will deliver a successful solution. We are able to work within the Client’s standing financial instructions to manage the project from inception, through the selection and appointment of necessary design team members to the procurement of building contractors, formation of contract and then to the on-site works management, budget control and agreement of a secure final account.

Below are a few examples of our projects:

Project Description

Located within the grounds of a country estate, this project consisted of the construction of a contemporary new build extension, blended with a sympathetic renovation of a listed agricultural barn.

The project was undertaken in order to create ancillary guest living accommodation and entertaining space in addition to the main residence. 

The works were undertaken over a nine month period and completed in December 2016.

The Contract Administrator’s role is key in delivering a successful project smoothly, on-time and on-budget.

Contract Administrator and Employers Agent are in essence a very similar role, but for differing forms of contract. In NEC Contracts this is the Project Manager; on a Design & Build Contract it’s the known as the Employers Agent role; and for all other JCT Contracts it’s the Contract Administrator.

Walker Pritchard have built up comprehensive experience in all three roles for a full spectrum of clients - from Employers Agent on a D&B Contract for Housing Associations, through to multi-site projects for the numerous NHS Trusts using the NEC3 Suite. 

The primary role of a Contract Administrator is to initiate good communication across the project team, control and manage project changes and oversee financial processes using standard forms and processes required within the individual contract. The Contract Administrator’s tasks generally include:

• Tender Stage Management, including invitations, addendums and assisting on the selection process.
• Formation of the Contract Documents, including preparation, clients team sign off and management through to execution.
• Management of Project Changes, including issuing Change Requests, Site Instructions, CA Instruction & Claim reviews.
• Progress Management & Review, including chairing meetings, issuing minutes, reporting on progress and issuing interim certificates.
• Management of Project Close Out, including agreeing commissioning and testing procedures, agreeing defects procedures, ensuring that project documentation is issued to the client and issuing the practical completion & final certificates.

Walker Pritchard offer a comprehensive Project Management Service to both Public and Private Sector Clients.

Through a single point of contact, we ensure that any individual building or estates objective is achieved, on time and within budget. Our team of experienced Project Managers and Cost Control Quantity Surveyors will make the Client’s priorities their own and work on the Client’s behalf to realise the desired outcome.

We work with Client’s to manage the project from inception, through the selection and appointment of necessary design team members to the procurement of building contractors, formation of contract and then to the on-site works management, budget control and agreement of a secure final account.

No matter how big or small the Walker Pritchard team engage enthusiastically to understand the objective, how the organisation works and will strive to deliver a successful solution.

In the amendment to the Construction Design & Management Regulations (CDM 2015) the CDM Coordinator was replaced by the Principal Designer.

All building work - including new build, demolition, refurbishment, extensions, conversions, repairs and maintenance - is now included within the regulations.

Both commercial AND domestic clients have overall responsibility for the successful management of their projects. They are to ensure that the construction project is set up so that it is carried out safely from start to finish in a way that adequately controls the risks to the health and safety of those who may be affected.

As Principal Designers and CDM Advisors, we recognise the burden of responsibility placed on both commercial and domestic clients and are ideally placed to take on and relieve the client of this responsibility on their construction project.

Please contact us for a Service suited to your individual needs. 

Quantity Surveying is one of our core services and our prime focus is to provide expert advice on construction costs from start to finish, by helping to ensure that proposed projects both offer good value for money and achieve a cost efficient design, whilst still maintaining the Clients vision.

The Value in our services are evident to our Clients through the added value we bring to the project, through helping the client and their design team evaluate and compare different construction choices, track and limit variations and by ensuring that costs remain under control as the project progresses.

Our Quantity Surveying Services can be can be split into many aspects and can be utilised throughout the project from inception through to handover. Our typical Services consists of;

The following services are an integral part of The Walker Pritchard Partnership’s core business, but are also offered on an individual basis:

We place a large emphasis on team spirit. Indeed, one of our main strengths is our open, friendly culture.
Our aim is to develop an environment in which all team members feel fulfilled within the project and to ensure that the success of each contract generates the desire within the client for the relationship to continue beyond the project completion.

In all its activities, The Walker Pritchard Partnership’s policy is to represent, enhance and protect the client’s interests and assist them in balancing the conflicting objectives of Cost, Time, Quality and Function within the project.

We place great emphasis on key performance indicators to ensure that we completely satisfy our clients' needs and expectations, focusing on speed of response and personal attention. We believe our approach is characterised by the high levels of energy and enthusiasm necessary to successfully meet the challenge of Construction that we are faced with on a daily basis.

As a practice, Walker Pritchard aims to provide a service to our clients which is personally tailored to their requirements. When providing advice, we do not apply a series of pre-conceived formulae. Rather, we attempt to evaluate all the known constraints and influences, in conjunction with our Clients and their other advisers. Then, by selecting the right approach, we aim to deliver the best and most innovative solutions and services that maximize the desired results.

This approach is reflected in the documentation prepared for each and every project, as well as a series of proven systems and procedures developed for the whole works.

In order to ensure our standards are not compromised and to continually improve on the excellence of our service delivery, which has been recognized locally and internationally, we have designed a structured quality assurance system and obtained ISO Certification in line with EN ISO 9001:2000. Through a structured system of simple and robust operational processes, we ensure conformity to current contractual and regulatory requirements so that our performance is thoroughly monitored and audited.

The Walker Pritchard Partnership is an established, award-winning, full-service practice of professional Chartered Quantity Surveyors and Cost Managers specialising in the Cost Management of Construction and its related activities.

As a practice, we understand the difficulty faced by clients when trying to manage the optimisation of interdependent factors within a construction project, particularly as problems in one area often influence the others. Therefore, our aim is to represent, enhance and protect our client’s interests..
