Title

Maisonette to Flat Conversion and Refurbishment Works at Linton & Afon Court

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Bron Afon is seeking a suitably experienced Contractor to undertake a conversion of a 4 bedroom maisonette into 2 flats (1 bed and 2 bed) and communal hallway refurbishment works.

The maisonette (no.5) that requires conversion is located in a four-storey block in Linton Court, Abersychan, Torfaen. The block currently has 14 properties (flats & maisonettes) and is split into two adjoining sections; properties 1-6A and 7-12A. Each section has its own communal entrance and stairwell. Communal refurbishment works are required to both 1-6A and 7-12A.

Further communal refurbishment works are required in a second block of flats (Afon Court) of the same architype 0.2 miles down the road. Again this block is split into two adjoining sections; properties 1-6 and 7-12. Each section has its own communal entrance and hallway and refurbishment works are required to both sections 1-6 and 7-12.

To comply with Building Regulations a fire suppression system is required as part of the maisonette conversion. Bron Afon wish to appoint a nominated subcontractor to undertake the design and installation of this system. These works will be procured through the WPA’s framework. A management fee has been included in the pricing schedule of the maisonette conversion for the co-ordination and supervision of this nominated subcontractor. For clarity the fire suppression system is only required in properties 1-6A Linton Court and their corresponding communal area. No fire suppression system will be installed in properties 7-12A or their communal area.
