About

Newark & Sherwood District Council awarded a contract to R G Carter Building Ltd for the construction of a new BREEAM Excellent civic office building on a 1.3-hectare site adjacent to the existing Cattle Market on Great North Road, Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire NG24 1BY.

The contract, valued at £6,068,335.7, was executed under a JCT 2011 Design and Build contract (with amendments) and commenced in April 2016 with a 52-week construction programme.

The new building, a steel-framed structure of approximately 3,700 m² GIFA over three floors, was designed to accommodate up to 300 staff and co-locate other public service personnel.

The scope included full fit-out ready for occupation, with separate procurements for furniture and loose fittings.

Technical challenges included working adjacent to a railway, piling works to increase ground bearing capacity, and potential highways works and bus stop upgrades under a S.

106 agreement.

The Council's design team had completed design work to RIBA Stage E (Stage 4) prior to contract letting.
