Major Stock Damp Remediation and Improvement 2022-23

Tender description

The works comprise refurbishing 100 dwellings located within an approximately 2 mile radius of Belfast City Centre. The individual dwellings are located within terraces of similar dwellings however the adjoining dwellings are in most circumstances owned by “others” and not part of this contract. The dwellings are largely situated within five definitive urban areas and the dwelling units are spread asymmetrically throughout these areas. The contract requires programme and sequencing flexibility to suit the evolving requirements of the clients Housing Management team. The scope of the contract shall include “Outward” and “Inward” decanting of tenants from Radius addresses as each successive phase starts and finishes. The travel distance between any dwelling unit and a decent dwelling unit will not exceed 2.0 miles. Storage facilities shall be maintained in the locality for storing tenants’ items that cannot be moved to the temporary decant accommodation. The dwellings are almost all in the region of 100 years old and all have received varying levels of intervention including extensions since original construction. The units are a mixture of 2 and 3 storey, they are broadly similar, but not uniform, in terms of composition and condition. The principal objective of the works is to introduce features to prevent damp, (rising and penetrating), ingress and improve the thermal properties of the dwellings. Works will comprise preparatory works to allow installation of damp proofing works including chemical injection damp proofing system in existing solid masonry walls with tanking in selected areas and provision of new solid floors and damp proof membrane.
