Keble College graduates get 'legs' on this highly complex ground-breaking build, incorporating a basement research space

We developed a procurement route to secure the contractors and managed the interface between demolition and the start of construction, maximising the demolition time to continue work on designing the main building. Managing the value engineering process was key for Keble College and reduced the projected costs back to within budget, without significant loss of design intent. By carefully monitoring the change control process, we were able to retain the value engineering savings throughout the development of the project. 

The high point was when the Grade II* listed building central to this site was free standing on its newly installed piled legs. Having completely excavated under the listed building, extremely accurate laser monitoring was in place, confirming that once on its legs, the building had only moved 2mm.
