Design and specification

New build and refurbishment

Where clients wish to build new or refurbish, Ridge has been providing multi-disciplinary services for many years and has developed a flexible approach to design and specification projects which enables us to provide a tailored service to clients.

Our services include:

  • Initial surveys measured and condition
  • Brief development
  • Concept design
  • Feasibility studies, including cost assessments
  • Detailed design
  • Detailed specification preparation
  • Preparation of tender documents
  • Tender stage management
  • Contract administration / Project management

On smaller schemes we are able to tailor our service without the need to omit the input of other disciplines. The client therefore gains the advantage of the group knowledge within Ridge as a multi-discipline practice.

On larger more complex projects we are equally able to resource a comprehensive design team which can include additional services such as lead consultant duties which aids the design management process and gives greater control to the client at this vital stage. These services are also able to be flexible in fitting within existing design teams to bridge any gaps in appointments or to specifically fit with client direct appointments specific to their requirements.

The Ridge teams are proud of our flexible approach to design projects and we have been able to provide solutions to our clients' specific needs on many varied schemes.

Examples of recent design and specification projects:

  • Refurbishment of HM Ambassador's Residence, Moscow on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, (a £6 M project)
  • The Disaster Recovery Suite refurbishment - an IT back-up facility on behalf of Oxford Brookes University
  • New Wind Tunnel project, under a design and build contract on behalf of Honda Racing F1 Team
