Quantity Surveyor

Mace are working in partnership with the design team and WCC to elucidate the cost implications arising from the proposed development proposals for the Carfax site. The effective management of cost is a critical factor in successful project delivery. We support our clients by providing a proactive, 'hands-on' approach to the management of cost. As a practice located in Winchester and thus with a vested interest in the success of the scheme, we deploy our familiarity of the site, local constraints and knowledge of the local supply chain to ensure that the scheme is not only deliverable, but inherently value for money.

Publica is a London-based public realm and urban design practice that brings research and intelligence to the process of urban change.

Publica was appointed to lead the public realm strategy for the Winchester Station Approach area, working closely with BHSLA, LDS and i-Transport. The public realm strategy seeks to create an improved and unified setting for the Station Approach area that reflects the distinctive character of Winchester and provides a fitting gateway to the city for pedestrians and cyclists. Proposals and recommendations were informed by an extensive appraisal of the existing conditions of Winchester’s streets and spaces. For more information visit publica.co.uk

They also are developing outline proposals for the Cattlemarket and Carfax car parks with new homes, offices, and some retail alongside better open spaces and landscape to ensure this area of Winchester contributes to it remaining a vibrant centre not just of tourism and heritage but also employment and service delivery for its residents.
