Technical requirements: PQQ for the design and build of a Passivhaus residential development of 34 flats and 4 houses including the demolition of the existing building located at the Former Magistrate Courts, Mountain Road, Caerphilly. This will be a sectional completion contract with stage 1 being the demolition and stage 2 the design and build.
This is a PQQ for the design and build of a Passvihaus residential scheme comprising 34 over 55s flats and 4 general needs houses. The contract will be a sectional completion contract with Stage 1 comprising the demolition of the existing structure and Stage 2 comprising the design and build. The scheme has been approved for funding under the Welsh Government Innovative Housing Programme. The completed scheme will need to achieve Passivhaus certification.
Due to mandatory time constraints set by the Innovation Housing Grant Programme that we must meet to qualify for the required funding, we have a very restricted timescale to obtain a signed build contract. It is therefore of paramount urgency that we receive PQQ response to allow us to move forward into the tender stage.
