What the notice says

Demolition and Structures — Barbican Renewal Programme. Refurbishment and alteration to an existing, occupied Grade II listed Brutalist concrete building (1965–1982) — not new-build; minimal structural intervention philosophy, using existing capacity and justifying retained elements without strengthening wherever possible. The project comprises demolition, enabling, temporary works and primary structural design and construction across the Renewal Phase 1 work areas, together with a sitewide Contractor Design Portion (CDP) framework covering secondary/tertiary steelwork, non-loadbearing masonry, builders work openings, steel reuse and other structure-adjacent design responsibilities. This package also carries a defined allocation of architectural fabric-removal (“Advanced Works”) scope and a smaller number of new internal partition and screed items prepared by the Architect, allocated to this package because they precede, depend upon, or are structurally coincident with the demolition and structural strip-out sequence. • Infrastructure and Sitewide Structural Works. • Conservatory: Level 3 demolition/strengthening. • Foyers: Foyers Bridge steelwork dismantling/re-decking, Foyer Shop demolition, shaft-opening coordination. • Catering Block: Shaft 08–11 slab modifications across multiple levels • Stair 8: structural coordination
