## Notice

Paston Great Barn is a 16th century thatched agricultural barn with associated outbuildings in north-east Norfolk, United Kingdom, located in the small hamlet of Paston. It is one of the best preserved thatched great barns left in England, and supports the only known breeding colony of Barbastelle bats Barbastella barbastellus found in a building in the United Kingdom. The South Range is an open fronted barn located separately from the Great Barn, and is a single-storey, detached structure to the southern boundary of the Paston Great Barn complex. A condition survey of Paston Great Barn and outbuildings undertaken for Natural England has identified structural faults relating to the roof of the South Range. The roof of the South Range has a depression about mid-length where the structure below has failed. A structural assessment of the roof and associated timbers has been undertaken to identify and specify the necessary timber repairs to rectify the faults with the roof, including other trusses showing timber decay, reinforcing other truss ends and strengthening the bressummer beam connections. The requirement is to undertake the required timber repairs to the roof structure of the South Range as in the Schedule of Works and Repair Specification Drawings, and to reinstate the existing set-aside roof covering. The following documents are appended this RFQ: 1) South Range Structural Condition Report. 2) Repair Drawings and Specifications (Zip File- 7 no. drawings). 3) Construction Hazard Assessment Structural Design (Designer Risk Assessment). 4) Schedule of Works.
