Victoria Road

The overspend of £1.741 on the original approved budget, relates to the total project costs for both the Sports Pavilion and Housing schemes. 60% of the overspend is attributable to overruns in the construction costs above the Agreed Maximum Price for both the Sports Pavilion and Housing Scheme.  Both schemes have been constructed during a time of great uncertainty as a result of Brexit, the Pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, which is having a considerable impact on the UK economy and the construction market.  This, together with the tightening up of Fire Safety Regulations post Grenfell, has significantly contributed to the uplift in project costs. The remaining 40% of the overspend is attributable to the extra professional fees associated with the detailed design stages of the Housing scheme.  The scheme has required greater design coordination from the Lead Architect and input from specialist designers than was originally anticipated. A summary of Lessons Learnt on the project has been shared with the Housing Supply Programme and Members Boards as well as the council’s Strategic Construction Partnership with Morgan Sindall.
