URGENT UPDATE TO THE NWCD ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION

Filed under: Colander competitions — Caroline Cole @ 6:45 pm

This is an urgent message for all architectural practices that were planning to enter this competition.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the University of Cambridge has been obliged to withdraw Lot 6 from this competition.

The competition website is being updated to reflect this change.

CIC Scope of Service

Filed under: CIC — Caroline Cole @ 10:42 am

The CIC has asked Colander to provide support to the growing number of clients and consultants that are using its recently launched Scope of Services.

This rather clever on-line tool promotes an integrated approach to defining the scope of services across a project, helping to clarify who does what: whether they are members of the design team, the contracting team or the client.  Interestingly, it can also be used to help practices define fee levels, estimate resource that will be required on specific projects and manage projects once they are up and running.

To enable us to deliver this support Colander has enlisted the services of Tony Broomhead.  Tony is Chair of the Scope of Services Board and a key member of the multi-disciplinary Steering Group that devised the Scope, so he is incredibly well placed to advise on its subtleties and how it can be put to best use.

To find out more take a look at our web page.

ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE COMPETITION

Filed under: Colander competitions — Caroline Cole @ 10:55 am

The University of Cambridge has asked Colander to run a competition to find a number of complementary architectural and landscape practices, large and small, for its ambitious new urban extension in North West Cambridge.  

The first phase of the project comprises nine Lots with landscape, a variety of residential units, retail, a school and community facilities.

Expressions of interest are required by 06 February 2012.

Interested practices will be expected to demonstrate exceptional design talent; a commitment to innovative, sustainable design; a proven ability to deliver both creativity and the highest possible value to their clients; satisfied clients for whom they have solved similar challenges, and the skills needed to deliver a project of this nature.

Further information and details of how to take part can be found at www.colander.co.uk/developers/nwcd.html
