The Estates Department is able to offer a complete design service from conception to completion using a mix of in-house surveyors and engineers and specialist consultants, fully conversant with the complex legislation surrounding NHS architecture and engineering.

Fees associated with this element are calculated broadly in line with RIBA methodology but can be built into each service level agreement if required. These rates are competitive against those found in the local market place. The fee levels enable us to design and project manage your capital programme where required and to ensure compliance with Standing Financial Instructions. This provides a clear Audit trail through professional tendering procedures and robust cost control.
