Tender: Installation of Fire Cavity Barriers and External Façade Reconstruction – 2, 10, 18, 27, 34, 42 Queensland Road

About

Supplier needed to install all vertical and horizontal fire cavity barriers and reconstruct external façades at 2, 10, 18, 27, 34, 42 Queensland Road. Works require stripping external façades back to the internal leaf from the outside and rebuilding, and will be delivered under a JCT Intermediate Contract 2024 with a Contractor’s design portion. The contractor-design scope includes temporary works (for example scaffolding calculations), specific setting out designs and screw-fixing specifications once existing substrates are exposed and confirmed. There are three primary outer-leaf finishes: masonry (the predominant façade finish), standing-seam zinc at a recessed top-floor level, and curtain walling/spandrel panels retained at top-floor front and flank elevations and select front-elevation areas. Masonry work involves removing and disposing of the masonry outer leaf, rigid insulation and accessories back to sheathing board/inner structural element level, then inserting new fire cavity barriers, new rigid insulation, new masonry and pointing and related works. Standing-seam zinc work involves stripping zinc cladding, hanging brackets and insulation to sheathing board level, then installing new fire cavity barriers, new zinc support brackets, new rigid insulation and related items. Work around curtain walling is limited to finishing the masonry and zinc cladding interfaces while retaining curtain wall panels. All obstructions, penetrations and M&E components within or through external façades must be fire stopped (for example collars).
