To facilitate the development of the Madras / New College building the University of St Andrews require to engage a Professional Team incorporating the Design Team, which will be led by the Architect and Lead Designer.

The Cost Manager will ultimately be responsible for the scrutiny, management, coordination and reporting of all project cost information. Along with traditional Quantity Surveying services the Cost Manager will; develop cost plans at each RIBA stage, review the design development throughout and identify value management opportunities, report monthly on all cost matters, be integral to the procurement strategy and change management process, prepare regular whole life cost analysis, provide guidance to all project team members, review market conditions and identify trends, supply chain difficulties and mitigation options, procure and manage enabling packages, procure and review tender submissions, value and certify onsite works and negotiate the final account. All activities should be fully aligned with the design brief, fully coordinated with the wider design team and working in tandem with the University’s strategic drivers. Real value analysis is required to balance the capital cost, operational cost, lifecycle cost and the carbon impact of the design at each stage, allowing for the influence and design development of the building form and M&E Strategy, at all design stages. All while assessing the parameters of Quality, Risk, Time and Cost and the requirements of CDM. The output will culminate with a complete suite of Contract Documents, for the purpose of procuring and proactively managing a Building Contract with a Principal Contractor.

In respect of design and specification, the quality will be set at the high-end range for materials and finishes, and the space must exude a welcoming, modern, inclusive, and inspiring environment. The University is committed to offering a high-quality environment which supports health and wellbeing, this principle is to be applied to the Cost Management.
