3.0 Design Brief and User Requirements
The initial design brief was broadly divided into three separate approaches to the existing buildings and site, which were:-
• Utilising the existing building in its entirety with internal alterations and possible small extension to provide the accommodation requirements. • Rebuild the brick extension to the same footprint as existing, retaining the original stone building as original and working the single storey interior to provide the required accommodation. • Redesign and rebuild the brick extension to provide two storeys of accommodation whilst maintaining the original stone school building.
Following the feasibility study undertaken in March 2008, the end user requirements were modified as part of the detailed design process, forming a new client brief (outwith the initial Upper Eskdale Development Group, design concepts document). Whereby the overall approach to sustainability was very much retained as part of the detailed design proposal, the accommodation requirements were refined to the following specification:-
• Multi purpose space (as existing in original stone building). • Art room/activity space that could also provide café overflow. • Café area including kitchens. • Male, female and disabled WC’s. • Office reception for UEDG worker. • Consulting space for visiting health practitioners. • Letting office space. • Community office space (community energy project). • Biomass boiler room.
The existing footprint could not be suitably reconfigured to accommodate the client’s space requirements. However, it has proved possible to provide all the space, with phasing potential, by the addition of a first floor extension that offers the required accommodation at relatively low additional cost. The initial designs for the building, utilising as much of the existing structure as possible, had to be developed and modified to meet some of the planning considerations, relating to neighbouring premises. The design had to make allowance for the impact additional height may have on adjacent properties, part of the overall holistic approach to sustainability and community.
In order to accommodate the design requirements, it was decided to demolish the existing 1970’s structure (as Option 3 of the original brief proposal) and rebuild to roughly the same footprint, whilst being careful to keep the structure in harmony with the existing stone building and neighbouring properties. As part of the environmental requirements of the build, we elected to construct new so that we could maximise the use of material and efficiency of the thermal envelope, whilst recycling as much of the material as possible on site. The long term benefits of creating a highly efficient and sustainable structure, outweigh those of retaining the original extension, given its current poor state.
Detailed consideration was given as to how the client will use the various differing accommodation. In response the first floor area is essentially stand-alone, with both community and letting offices, consulting room and 2 no. disabled compliant toilets. This enables the accommodation to be accessed, without the requirement for reception or the public areas on the ground floor to be occupied, and be separately secured. The subdivision of accommodation in this way, allows for the function based activities to be housed on the ground floor, creating a suitable subdivision between usage and usage groups (essential also for the differing requirement for fire safety and subdivision). In designing the ground floor accommodation we have tried to ensure that the space is as flexible as possible. This is vital in ensuring that the needs of the different community projects are recognised and also that any changes in community requirements can be accommodated in the future. The café/art room area is effectively a single space, subdivided by sliding partitions and glazed screens, allowing them to be combined or divided according to the usage requirements at any one time. This has the added advantage of providing for the possibility of another larger multi-purpose space with catering, should this be required by the community or dictated by functions. The overall ground floor layout has been designed to provide for minimum staff supervision requirements whilst maintaining control over incoming and outgoings throughout the public area of the premises. It is possible for the person or persons manning reception to effectively close down access to all the ground floor areas to allow them to fulfil multiple roles, e.g. still controlling access whilst serving in the kitchen/café area. The foyer serves as a secure (but dry) holding area as required depending on activities and functions.
4.0 Access Arrangements
As with any public building in Scotland, it is proposed that the hub premises be fully DDA compliant. This includes certain measures to make the building accessible to wheelchair users and others with visual and other impairments. The design of the building will, where possible, incorporate the best practice indicated in BS 8300:2009 Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people – code of practice. Among the disability features included in the building are the following:-
·• Circulation and assembly areas and facilities as BS 8300:2009, including • 926 mm doors fitted throughout. • A total of 3 accessible disabled toilets (1 on ground and 2 on first). • Level and ramped access to the building. • Lift provision to first floor. • Contrasting doors, floors, walls and ironmongery. • Warm touch fittings. • Contrasting stair nosings and handrails and warm touch coverings to all handrails. • Accessible light switch and socket height throughout the new build. • Clear internal signage including tactile letters. • Non-slip surfaces to stairs and ramps.
The site, by its nature and location, will predominantly be accessed by vehicle, although there are footpaths from the village in the vicinity of the existing property. The remote nature of the community restricts walking to the proposed hub, As such, provision has been proposed, in the existing parking area for a fully disabled parking space with suitable hard surfacing, leading to the proposed community hub. In addition to this, there is a substantial hard surface area to the front of the building allowing for a drop off – pick up point. As previously mentioned graded ramped access and level platforms provide full disability compliant access to the new building.
5.0 Construction and Materials
It is proposed that the new build construction section of the project will be of semi-traditional construction. External walls will be predominantly concrete block construction with external cladding and insulation. This construction is proposed to provide a high thermal mass internally with a highly efficient thermal envelope. Externally this will be achieved by using a solid internal block wall, which is cocooned in external insulation and clad with local larch timber. External insulation of this nature is highly efficient and when clad around a concrete or concrete block shell, the overall heat retention is considerably improved. It is preferable to reduce the distance that any materials travel, so the use of local larch will help reduce the overall carbon footprint of the development. Larch is also moderately durable and is better at withstanding knocks and scratches than the more usually sourced, imported Cedar. It is recognised that concrete block, although manufactured locally, (product can be sourced within 20 miles of the proposed site), it is not considered the most environmentally friendly of materials. It does however have benefits in terms of its thermal mass properties and this will go some way (when incorporated into the proposed construction) to mitigating the environmental impact of block manufacture. It should also be noted that due to planning constraints requiring for considerable flood mitigation in the construction, the use of alternative structure materials such as timber is not suitable for either the building or location. The use of local larch as a cladding material provides a number of benefits over and above the aesthetic appeal, these include, low embodied energy, support of local supply chain, good environmental credentials and a suitable sacrificial, easily replaced cladding material in the event of damage. Due to the proposed mixed usage of the building we are subject to strict fire and sound regulation. With this in mind, the use of concrete beam and block or precast flooring slabs is preferred over an alternative build up. The use of the proposed materials substantially adds to the overall thermal mass of the building. The use of timber flooring has been considered, primarily due to potential site constraints, but this involves a complex build up with specialist components (resilient bars and pads and multiple plasterboard layers) impacting both on the carbon footprint and available headroom. Roof construction is proposed as structural timber (local is preferred) with slate and single ply membrane to flat areas specified for both planning and ecological reasons (it is proposed that slate should be sourced from as close to the project as possible and reclaimed should be considered). High performance double glazed timber doors and windows are specified and it is hoped that these too can be sourced locally from any one of a number of local joiners and suppliers in the area.
Wherever possible, it is intended that materials should be salvaged from the existing property following demolition and recycled within the new construction. Existing brick and masonry should either be re-used as internal walls, hardcore fill or landscape material or recycled as part of a detailed waste management plan. Potential contractors will be required to minimise the production of landfill material through accurate planning and procurement policies. As part of the construction stage and project management, the client has also indicated a preference for the following environmentally positive procedures (where applicable):-
• Design and construction documents distributed over the internet (partially implemented). • The use of video linking for site and design meetings. • Investigate the working of 4 longer days rather than 5 normal to minimise travel to and from site (as a very rural location). • Local sourcing of materials. • Substantial on-site storage to minimise number and frequency of deliveries. • Consideration to sustainable travel arrangements. • Environmental issues to be at the forefront of construction planning.
6.0 Project Constraints
There are constraints relating to the site and access for heavy lifting. These are or will be dealt with in a number of ways including:-
• The re-routing of overhead power cables to reduce site risks to personnel and machinery. • Detailed CDM planning both prior to and during the construction phase in conjunction with the cho sen contractor. • Liaison with local community and interested parties to manage and reduce any disruption.

Summary of Renewable Energy Recommendations
The main recommendations are the implementation of a variety of energy efficiency measures taking advantage of current renewable energy technology.
1. Relocate and reuse existing hand fed heater to cafe area. 2. Install LPHW wet system throughout building, served by a wood chip/wood pellet biomass boiler. 3. Two Mitsubishi air to air heat pumps retained and reinstalled to provide supplementary heating. 4. Lighting systems to be installed to give minimum running costs consistent with correct levels of illumination and using a combination of LED equipment for task. lighting and compact fluorescent lamps for general use.
Brief Commentary on Individual recommendations
(a) The existing hand fed pellet biomass style heater to be relocated to the café area to provide heating to the area as and when the café is operational.
(b) For ease of operation and flexibility an LPHW wet system will be installed in the building, this being served by a biomass boiler of 40/50 Kw capacity using wood chip or wood pellet from a storage area adjacent to the boiler position as shown on site plans. The biomass option has been chosen in keeping with the communities desire to source fuel from a local source and support the proposed pelleting operation in the future. (c) The two Mitsubishi air to air heat pumps will be retained in the services design and incorporated in the building design as a source of supplementary heating and reducing demand on the boiler. (d) Lighting systems will be provided in the building to take advantage of current technology to give minimum running cost. This will be achieved by a combination of LED task lighting and CFL systems for the more general areas, to give maximum light quality and correct cooler temperature. (e) 12 existing solar PV panels have been used in the design of the PV system, with panels being installed directly on the roof or alternatively directly to the sarking and integrated into the roof profile. The remaining 30 panels mounted adjacent to the building on a frame leaving adequate ground clearance. In the final design considerations as to the size and location of the inverter will require to be established to minimise running costs.
Running Costs
1. Biomass Boiler The annual running cost for the biomass boiler will be of the order of £3,900 per annum. This is based on consumption of 39 tonnes of wood chip (195m3) per year which is equivalent to 0.75 tonnes or 3.75 m3 per week. This quantity of fuel will supply 120,000 kwh per annum. The boiler rating will be 50kw. 2. Electrical Energy Costs Based on a total area of 542 m2 and opening hours of 12 hours per day throughout the year the electrical energy costs will be of the order of £4943 per annum. This is based on a consumption of approximately 45,000 kwhs per annum. 3. PV Generation The installed PV system is capable of generating 7000 Kwh per annum. The income generated by exporting 7000 Kwh per annum to the Grid is £2,885 per annum. The estimated cost of the electrical consumption of the building is £4,943 and if the generated energy of 7000 Kwh is used to offset the consumption from the Grid the saving will be £700 per annum.
4. Renewable Heat Incentive
Systems installed from 15 th July 2009 onwards – will receive RHI payments for a period of 20 years from date of registration. However, registration will not be possible until the scheme is introduced in July 2011 (or sometime thereafter as the deadline has not been confirmed). The Government appear to be aiming for a late August or early September introduction. Provisional tariff has been calculated to give a return of about 12% on investment, except for solar thermal where the figure is much lower at about 5%.

The above costs assume tenders will be sought no later than 1st Quarter 2012. 4. The above costs are based on drawing numbers 08006-07B, 08006-08A and TTSRE budget costs.
The BCIS is forecasting tender prices will increase by 3.1% between 2Q12 and 2Q13. Therefore an allowance in the application form for inflation should be considered. The cost plan takes us to the end of 1Q12 therefore if a start in say the summer/autumn of 2012 is possible then 2% would seem a reasonable addition to the construction costs.

14.0 Project Management Strategies and Procedures
Procurement is expected to be by single stage selective tendering (stage H of RIBA. plan of works), with full construction issue and bill of quantities. The contract will take the form of traditional general contracting with lump-sum reimbursement based on tendered unit rates in contractual bill of quantities (such as SBC/Q, JCT, II.C.E conditions or The engineering and construction contract, formally NEC).
Architects Plus (UK) Ltd will act as the contract administrator (CA) throughout the project ensuring change control and risk management continuity. Variations to the contract will be dealt with via Architects Instruction, this will enable the management of design and cost alongside the full design team. Regular design and site meetings will be held throughout the course of the project with site inspections at approximately two week intervals and formal site meetings at four week intervals. Minutes will be prepared following formal site meetings and distributed to an agreed project team/client distribution list with required actions highlighted.
Risk will be managed by the close control of contract progress, full specification and planning prior to construction commencement and tight cost control. Substantial surveys of the existing properties, surrounding area and services and ground conditions have been undertaken at design stage. A project risk log has been prepared (see project risk management ownership plan) which has identified project risks with measures for consolidation. The risk ownership plan is based on identification, assessment and prioritisation to ensure adequate and timely action can be undertaken to mitigate any issues which may arise.
Individual health and safety risks are dealt with under the CDM regulations by designing out at source and recording any significant or residual risks on a health and safety design risk register for circulation amongst the design team. Wherever possible all health and safety risks will be designed out. Those residual risks that remain will be fed into the final health and safety and operation and maintenance files for the building. The CDM-c (notifiable project) will assign risk ownership to the design team as required and attend site meetings to ensure compliance with the regulations.
Management of Projects Costs
The better the design and tender documentation at tender stage, the easier the project costs will be able to be managed. Therefore the design team has assumed that procurement will follow traditional procurement lines whereby the designers fully design the project and the Quantity Surveyors prepare Bills of Quantities based on these designs. Before reaching that stage however effective cost planning is required to ensure, as the design develops, that the budget is not being compromised. Therefore regular cost plan updates at certain design milestones will be undertaken.
Once tenders have been received the Quantity Surveyor will analyse the tenders to ensure they have been well priced and recommend a contractor for acceptance. At this stage some value engineering may be required to ensure the budget is not exceeded. The contract chosen will stipulate the cost control procedures applicable including change control procedures to ensure the client is kept informed of any variations which could affect the overall costs. At monthly intervals, whilst preparing interim payment certificates, cost reports will be prepared which indicate the estimated final cost, taking into account all variations up to that time. It is important that a contractor is engaged who is willing to work with the design team to ensure tight control of the costs is achieved. This process will continue throughout the construction period until project completion when the Quantity Surveyor will agree the final costs with the contractor.
