Design and construction of 23 Housing units at Newtongrange Town Centre on two sites that are in close proximity. The project will be awarded on a 2 stage basis. For stage 1 the successful tenderer will enter into a pre-construction services agreement to develop the design, obtain all necessary regulatory consents and work up the cost on an open book basis. Once the scope and cost is agreed the parties will enter into a SBCC 2016 D&M contract to deliver the works in stage 2. Additionally the parties may enter into a purchase of goods contract to allow for payment of 3D modules that have been completed off-site.
