Forest Side Hotel, Lake District

Forest Side Hotel, Lake District

Forest Side Hotel is grade II Victorian mansion built in 1853 in the heart of the Lake District.

The property was purchased by a boutique hotel owner operator who undertook to restore, renovate and extend the building to form a luxury hotel.

The project was subject to significant variations and delays. We were engaged by Thomas Armstrong Construction to provide commercial services and strategy. This included undertaking a comprehensive commercial analysis of the final account and ensuring that all due entitlement was identified, quantified, evidentially supported and presented to a high standard.

In order to demonstrate prolongation entitlement, we developed primary and supplementary delays analyses and a bespoke form of measured mile to prove reduced productivity.

The final account was successfully concluded in negotiations to the satisfaction of the parties. The hotel restaurant received a Michelin Star and the hotel has received plaudits and accolades in the national press.
