Collaborative Delivery in Action: Bluecoat Trent Academy, Nottingham
This session will share insights from the DfE’s and contractor’s project teams responsible for the successful handover of a new 1200 place 11-16 academy in Nottingham, for Archway Learning Trust. It will explore how severe programme pressures and site constraints were effectively mitigated through a fully collaborative approach between contractor and client, and will discuss how key elements of the design, programming and construction stages were managed to ensure completion on time and within budget. The session will showcase and highlight the importance of stakeholder management and maximising social value in the successful delivery of construction projects.
