Architect Opportunity

Ely Cathedral is seeking an experienced Architect for an exciting project made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Through Cracks and Colour. This inspiring initiative will conserve the Cathedral’s historic clerestory windows—conserving their beauty while sharing their stories with new and diverse audiences.

Key Details: 

There is an indicative budget for this work of £45,470 based on 12% of the construction value, including disbursements but excluding VAT across the two phases of this project, subject to funding.

The estimated construction value for the project is £378,916 excluding VAT.

£13,640 is secured for Development Phase activity which must as a minimum meet RIBA work stage 3. The Cathedral’s preference would be for RIBA work stage 4 to be achieved within the Development Phase of the project and have secured additional funding to support this. This budget is inclusive of disbursements but excludes VAT.

We would expect the successful Architect to work for us in the Delivery Phase as well, subject to a successful Delivery Phase application to the Heritage Fund and a successful consultancy performance review at the end of the Development Phase
