Description:

Plas Gunter Mansion Trust Brief is seeking a Project Manager to manage the Delivery Phase of the Restoration of Plas Gunter Mansion. The Trust was awarded a Delivery Phase grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund in early October 2025 contingent on securing matched funding of £504,000. To date, we have raised £365,500 and are on track to secure the remaining amount by the end of February 2026. £300,000 of our matched funding must be spent by the end of March 2026 so we have confirmed the appointment of the existing Design Team who will undertake several discrete packages of work and the RIBA Stage 4 design. The Trust now wishes to appoint an experienced Project Manager to manage these works and continue onto the full delivery phase of the project, subject to the Trust securing the remaining fundraised income required. Budget The base build construction budget excluding VAT and consultant fees is £2,288,634. This includes contingency and inflation. Schedule of Services • Provide the overall management of the construction project and, in consultation with the client, manage and coordinate all aspects of the project from the start of RIBA Stage 4 Detailed Design to completion of the base build construction project and up to the end of the defects liability period until all the works forming part of the project are satisfactorily completed. • Receive instructions from the client and relay them as necessary to the designers and contractor. • Manage the tender and appointment of any other consultants or specialists required for the completion of RIBA Stage 4 in accordance with the NLHF procurement rules, including building control and fire engineering. • Manage a £300,000 grant, including VAT, which needs to be spent by the end of the financial year. Of this, approximately £200,000 will be spent on Stage 4 fees. £100,000 of works are proposed before the end of March 2026, including soft strip out, refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey, repair works to the first-floor structure above the decorative plaster ceiling and securing the ceiling, and community archaeology activities. • Maintain on a monthly basis a project Risk Register with input from the designers and client. • Maintain an overview of the programme and design of the Activity Plan which will include archaeological activities and hard-hat tours during the Construction and Exhibition Fit Out Phase. • Maintain an overview of the Interpretation / Exhibition Fit Out. Ensure that the Base Build Designers coordinate with the Interpretation / Exhibition Fit Out design. • Maintain an overview of the works to the Garden and its Landscaping. Works to the Garden are being funded and managed separately by a Project Coordinator and regular updates will be regularly provided for information. In the future, it may be beneficial for the Project Manager to take over the management of the garden development, but this will be under a separate contract and fee. Consultant appointments • Advise the client on the need for and make recommendations for the appointment of other consultants by the client if required. • Monitor the overall performance of consultants and contractors in the performance of their duties and the discharge of their responsibilities. • Check the insurances of those consultants if appointed. • Determine with the client the limit of the authority of the architect to issue instructions without obtaining the client’s or Project Manager’s prior approval Construction Stage 4 Detailed Design • Attend regular design team meetings set up by the Lead Designer/ Architect. • Monitor the completion of the Stage 4 design. • Check that the RIBA Stage 4 report is prepared by the Lead Designer/ Architect with input from the Quantity Surveyor and signed off by the client. The project programme and risk register are also to be included. • Check that consultants review buildability and technical design of proposals with specialist contractors. Tendering and
