Restoration work

Tender description

The Cambrian Heritage Regeneration Trust, a registered Charity and Building Preservation Trust, is currently developing a project to restore the former YMCA building in Merthyr Tydfil and to convert it into modern office spaces for the creative industries. The YMCA is a significant Grade II structure with a terracotta façade which dominates the Pontmorlais area of Merthyr Tydfil. It was designed by Sir Percy Thomas, 1 of Wale's foremost Architects and is significant as his 1st major commission. Its restoration will mark a considerable achievement for regeneration in Merthyr Tydfil and Wales. We need to procure the services of an suitably experienced main contractor to undertake the works. The successful contractor will have a demonstrated track record in: The conservation of outstanding historic buildings; the conversion of historic buildings for innovative new uses and excellent contract management skills to ensure the project is delivered in time and to budget. The contractor should have experience of undertaking similar multi-million GBP projects in Wales. An initial phase of emergency structural and stabilisation works has been undertaken to the property including the removal of all asbestos from the site; the construction of a temporary roof structure and slope stabilisation works to the rear.
