Bank House is the first phase of the landmark Pilgrim Place development which will provide over 400,000sq. ft of new offices in the heart of Newcastle. A 14-storey development, Bank House includes ground-floor retail space and 120,000sq. ft of Grade A office space across 12 floors. The development offers high quality, column free space with the flexibility to be split into three separate tenancies per floor.
Cundall provided multi-disciplinary engineering design on this project, including BREEAM services. The development has been designed in accordance with BCO guidelines and designed to a BREEAM Excellent rating.
Paul Hards, Partner, commented: “Cundall replaced the incumbent engineer only six weeks prior to the project starting on site. Some of the challenges included a strict timeframe for the work required. Despite the time constraints, Cundall’s vast experience of designing and delivering workplace projects across the globe enabled significant savings of approximately £100,000. This was achieved by reducing the number of piles required in the sub-structure, which saw a reduction in concrete.”
Cundall replaced the original engineer at short notice – the whole team were impressed by our ability to mobilise quickly and produce our designs to enable the project to start on programme and more importantly finish on programme.
