CQS Solutions provided full pre- and post-contract Quantity Surveying services for the alteration and refurbishment of a former dance studio for Mid & North Powys Mind in Llandrindod Wells. The £475,496 project transformed the existing building into offices and meeting facilities, creating a safe, compliant and functional environment for the organisation’s community and mental health support services.
The project included alterations and refurbishment to the existing building, external repairs and associated external works. Delivered under a JCT Intermediate Building Contract with Contractor’s Design 2016 Edition, the project presented challenges including restricted site access and demanding funding requirements and targets.
CQS Solutions provided commercial support from the early stages of the project through to construction. Our Quantity Surveying services included cost planning, preparation of Schedules of Works, tender analysis, support through contract award and ongoing post-contract cost management. A formal elemental budget cost plan was prepared during the pre-contract stage to establish the likely construction costs of the proposed refurbishment.
Procurement was undertaken through a single-stage competitive tender. Three tenders were returned and commercially reviewed, with priced Schedules of Works checked and tender anomalies investigated before a recommendation was made for contract award.
The project reached practical completion in September 2025. Throughout delivery, CQS Solutions combined robust cost management with clear and pragmatic advice, helping Mid & North Powys Mind navigate the construction process and tight funding deadlines. The project demonstrates our experience providing Quantity Surveying and cost consultancy services for charities, community organisations and healthcare-related facilities across Wales.
