Context

In recent years, UMC Utrecht has developed the Strategic Housing Development Vision (SOH), which forms the basis for an integral renewal of the housing. In May 2024, the Master Plan Housing 2024 was approved by the board of directors, this master plan outlines the projects within the SOH and the process and program design. Complementary to the Housing Master Plan 2024, there is a need for an integral structural design (ISO), which will provide a complete (functional) overview with sliding movements of the SOH including a test of manufacturability, phasability and affordability. The definition phase of the ISO will be completed by summer 2025 and will consist of:

• Developing the phase project definition of the ISO, the total package leads to a feasible and affordable plan with a look through to 2050 and provides insight into how UMC Utrecht can take the next steps in the constant renewal of its housing. 
• Develop and review the integrated program of requirements based on the areas of expertise: functional program, architecture/engineering, landscape, building physics, acoustics, construction, installations and geotechnical engineering.
• Elaboration of future central and building engineering, working out engineering at the ISO level (main structure, basic system choices, etc.).
• Set up multi-year investment estimates with a time horizon through 2025.
• Qualitative elaboration of constructability and construction phasing, including functional elaboration of phasing.
• Understanding the permits required.
• Establish a timeline and project schedule based on expert estimation of realistic construction lead time.
• Plan of action for follow-up, including a procurement strategy for the design phases.
