Description

Delivery of a new, National Lottery Heritage Fund–supported museum building providing purpose-built gallery, conservation and education facilities within the sensitive setting of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, supporting long-term public access to Arundel’s heritage collection.

Our role

We were initially approached by Arundel Museum Society in July 2009 to review initial scheme designs for a new Museum in Arundel. We were subsequently appointed as Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors for the preparation and submission of round 1 and round 2 funding applications to NLHF, both of which were successfully achieved. We were retained as delivery phase PMs, seeing the project through to completion with the museum opening to the public in July 2013. The project was delivered using a JCT Design and Build procurement route.

Scope and Outcomes

To deliver a town museum offering formal learning programme with local schools, informal learning and researcher access, volunteering opportunities and guided town tours. Recording and conservation of the collection to inform the design.

The museum includes:

• Purpose-built public gallery for display of the collection

• Dedicated storage and conservation areas

• Multi-purpose education room enabling a new expanded activity plan

• Contemporary single storey building combining modern and traditional materials

• Low energy and low maintenance design

• Restoration of landscaping and external areas

From the client

Cragg Management took full responsibility for managing every aspect of the project including the design team, the costs and quality, legal land agreements, appointments, contracts, funding compliance and condition discharge. They have always been available to deal rapidly and effectively with any query or concern and have always dealt with these in a positive, effective and friendly straightforward manner. They have been instrumental in taking our vision for the museum at Arundel and turning into a reality and most importantly, one that is of a high quality and within budget.

Nick and Megan worked together on this project and both demonstrated unquestionable knowledge, skill and expertise in this field. Their knowledge of NLHF procedures and processes is exceptional. Nick and Megan carried out the project as if it was their project and acted in our interests at all times. I, and Arundel Museum Society, would have no hesitation in recommending them for future heritage projects.
