Technical requirements: The work scope includes the Major Building Repair and Refurbishment of the existing British Embassy in Washington DC, USA.
British Embassy in Washington DC, USA. The site is located at 3100 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008, USA.
The General Contractor's (GC's) work scope includes the Major Building Repair and Refurbishment of the existing British Embassy in Washington, USA comprising:
The New Chancery Building is in full occupation/usage and will remain so during the course of the proposed works. Careful consideration will therefore be required as to the phasing of the proposed works to ensure the safety of all occupants, minimise disruption to both the chancery and consular function of the Embassy Site, and ensure works are undertaken as efficiently as possible. This will be achieved via implementation of an effective phasing and decant/recant strategy. It is currently envisaged that the New Chancery Building refurbishment works will be phased on a wing-by-wing basis to minimise the requirement for decanting all existing users at one time to an alternative temporary location — External Drainage / Site Works. The scope also includes the repair and replacement of the existing site drainage infrastructure.
Within the Embassy Compound, access is via the existing circulation roads and will require careful consideration and ongoing liaison with the Embassy (site accommodation, deliveries, circulation, storage of materials etc.).
