Dear Paolo

RE Project E1775 RE Project E1775 RE Project E1775 RE Project E1775 –––– House at 76 Aylestone AveHouse at 76 Aylestone AveHouse at 76 Aylestone AveHouse at 76 Aylestone Ave

Thank you for sending through the information on your project at Aylestone Ave

and considering us for the structural engineers on the project. We have done

many interesting houses and see the potential here to explore some really elegant

solutions. The roof shape reminds me of a library building we recently engineered

called the ‘Hive’ in Worcester where it was all done in cross laminated timber. We

understand the area of the house is approximately 900 sqm with a third of this

area within a basement. We have considered the appropriate resource to deliver a

project of this scale and complexity and our fee for this project would work out at

£ 35,000 plus VAT and disbursements. If the project were to follow the timber

route, this specialist engineering would be included in this fee.

I have attached a breakdown for each stage of the work. Our fee is based on the

scope of work highlighted in the ACE agreement B(1) for normal structural

engineering services with the general scope described below :-

Stage 1 (C1, C2, C3) – Scheme Design

- Resolve a clear brief for the works and highlight any sub contract works that

maybe necessary

- Collate any information available on the site regarding previous site investigations,

drawings of existing buildings, loading data (wind etc.) and codes of practice

- Review site access and highlight any potential restrictions which may affect the

design options.

Atelier One Limited

Registered in England: Number 283 5918

Durkan House, 5th Floor, 155 East Barnet Road, New Barnet, Hertfordshire EN4 8QZ

- Discuss with the design team the technical viability of the works and provide

options on the approach to construction.

- With the help of the geotechnical engineers, provide a specification for

geotechnical investigations and get a minimum of two quotes for the works

- Highlight the need for any further survey work necessary to develop the project

- Provide sketched alternatives and suggestions in the form of reports and or

specifications for discussions with the Architect and design team. Provide input

to assist the cost consultant to prepare an outline cost plan

- Provide a summary of the outline structural proposals for client approval for the

next stage

Stage 2 (C4) – Detailed Proposal

- Liaise with the design team to agree a programme for the whole of the design

and construction of the works.

- Develop the design of the detailed proposals for the project in collaboration with

the Architect and design team.

- Prepare sketches, drawings, specifications, and/or calculations which are

necessary to enable the Lead consultant and cost consultant to prepare a cost

plan.

- Collaborate with the Architect and design team to prepare the detailed proposals

for presentation to the client, drawing attention to any significant differences from

the previous outline proposal.

- Provide a summary of the detailed structural proposals for client approval and

consent to proceed to the next stage.

Stage 3 (C5,C6,C7) – Final proposal, production info & tender

- Develop the design in collaboration with the design team and prepare sufficient

structural calculations, drawings, schedules and specifications to enable the

Architect to complete their proposals.

- Comment on the suitability of the proposed contractors and any necessary sub-

contractors

- Prepare summary reports of final proposals for client approval and seek consent

to continue with production information.

- Prepare calculations and drawings to submit for approval (with assistance from

the local engineer where a local license maybe necessary)

- Prepare drawings and performance specifications to enable the contractor and

their specialist sub contractors to carry out the works.

Atelier One Limited

Registered in England: Number 283 5918

Durkan House, 5th Floor, 155 East Barnet Road, New Barnet, Hertfordshire EN4 8QZ

- Provide a tender issue of the structural design information to be issued to the

bidding contractors

- Comment on tender returns

Stage 4 (C8) – Construction

- Examine contractors proposals and shop drawings

- Monitor and record construction and quality control

- Advise on any testing that should be carried out during construction

We have not included for drainage work and would expect this to be carried out

by the M&E consultants. All testing and surveys, for example geotechnical, would

be additional to this.

We have also attached our standard terms and conditions and a few examples of

our work for your reference. We hope this is of interest to you and look forward to

hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
