Tenders Are Invited For Structural Engineer Consultancy For The Revalorization Of Architectural And Urban Heritage

Tenders are invited for Structural Engineer Consultancy for the Revalorization of Architectural and Urban Heritage Duration of consultancy: 6 months Estimated number of work days: 5 to 7 days per months, variable from one month to another based on work load. Expected start/end: March to August 2026 The project stems from the observation that a large number of historical collective buildings in downtown Phnom Penh are in a derelict state, in a context of a highly pressurized land market. The project aims to develop a participatory methodology for the renovation of such buildings, with a dual objective: 1/ to enable the renovation of buildings from the first half of the 20th century and from the 50s and 60s in their historical and heritage dimensions; 2/ to adapt them to climate change and new uses, while preserving their architectural qualities (natural ventilation, insulating materials, etc.) and with a goal of resource efficiency (renovation rather than demolition/reconstruction; optimal energy consumption). With the support of the City of Paris, the Phnom Penh Capital Administration is aiming to create a policy dedicated to the rehabilitation of these historical buildings thanks to a series of activities which will support residents and local authorities better understand the issues and possible solutions for upgrade. The overall aim of the project is to develop a methodology for the renovation and management of existing built heritage and to encourage residents to invest in the rehabilitation of built heritage. Such an approach should also (re)enhance the value of historic neighborhoods by improving public spaces. The project will pursue two specific objectives: OS1: the development of heritage governance through the introduction of management tools and methods for the rehabilitation of built heritage, with the active participation of local residents; OS2: better adaptation of urban space to the tropical climate and its evolution, and in particular the reduction of urban heat islands by reinforcing the role of nature in dense urban environments. The projected duration of the project is 20 months. A second phase of the project is expected to emerge from this.
