Bristol Old Vic The Parchment Works

Architects: Haworth Tompkins Architects: WillGamble/Architects

Grade one listed building Location: Northamptonshire
Type: Residential (Grade II Listed Building)
Cost analysis
Average cost/m2: £4,439.18 Cost analysis:
Total cost: £4,563,500 Average cost/m2: £1361,11
GFA: 2,096.6m2 Total cost: £245,000
GEA: 2,910m2 GFA: 180m2

The Bristol Old Vic was chosen as precedent for it’s similar program, it’s relation to the historical building
on site and reflectance to our architectural vision.
The project has completed a new foyer and studio theatre for the Grade I listed Bristol Old Vic. The
extension connects the street to the historical building. In terms of cost, this project lies on the high end
site with it’s £4,439.18 per m2. But we can say that the value for money is justified. The project adopts
a number of low impact design features like shutters reducing the solar gain, or prefabricated elements
allowing for rapid assembly and it achieves BREEAM rating 56.2%.
The quality of the building and the sustainable approach undertaken during construction and completion
will make the expected life span of the building longer and the running cost lower.
In terms of revenue the program added by the construction of the foyer includes a cafe, bar and a
meeting place that will bring additional revenue.
Funding: Private
We choose The Parchment Works as a second precedent mainly because it represents our design
intention and built form.
This project involves a contemporary extension within the ruin walls of a scheduled monument.
The design concept behind this was to design a ‘building within a building’ the extension is sub-
merged in the ruins respecting the historical site.
The extension was predominantly build with up-cycled materials found on site wich add to a sus-
tainable approach.
The project is also a great example of a good value for money. High quality building is achieved
with a smaller budget. The average cost per m2 is £1362 which in comparison to the first prece-
dent is almost three times less.

(Identify the cost estimate on opening and significant running and life cycle costs for your project)

(Identify targetted sources of funding and potential sources of revenue for your project)

Once a more informed elemental cost estimate is gained at RIBA WS 2, a cost-plan update would be
required. For an estimated construction period of 8-10 months, we would compare the BCIS RICS
Q4 2020 Tender Price Index (TPI) with the Q3 2021 TPI by means of division in order to find the price
inflation index (adjustment factor). From this we gain a final inflated value by means of multiplication.
