Virtus Consult is supporting the delivery of an important programme of heritage works at Compton Verney, the Grade I listed country house and art gallery in Warwickshire.
Working alongside the wider professional team, Virtus is providing Quantity Surveying and project delivery support, helping to develop the scope, procurement strategy, budget and programme for works to the historic estate.
Projects involving listed buildings present particular challenges. The need to protect historic fabric, accommodate specialist conservation techniques and manage uncertainty within existing structures requires careful planning and close coordination between the client, designers, specialists and contractors.
At Compton Verney, the proposed works are being developed around defined delivery periods, balancing the requirements of the conservation programme with the continued operation of the venue.
The commission reflects Virtus’s experience of managing refurbishment and improvement works in complex environments, where the practical demands of construction must be considered alongside the needs of the building and its users.
