CCS Design & Project Management Services for Cladding Replacement at Manila Embassy, Philippines

FCDO are exploring the opportunity to deliver cladding works and potentially wider refurbishment at our Embassy in Manila. The scope is under review and will evolve following further surveys. We are therefore looking to commission a PSP for this project to undertake RIBA Stages 2-7. The building is located at 120 Upper Mckinley Road, 1200 Makati City Metro, Manila

The building is occupied (c200 staff) and operational, requiring careful planning for phasing, security and safety.

Currently JLL are carrying out a condition survey of the cladding. The outcome of this will:

Establish key failures, root cause of failure, and end of life condition for existing installation/system.

Validate what improvements or replacement works required, and end of life & maintenance requirements. To check if panels can withstand if works can only be done by year 2027 onwards.

Review alternative design solutions to the current as-built condition, and based on practicality, aesthetics, sustainability, product/system lifespan, cost, maintenance, material source, HSE considerations, security considerations and other factors
