Due to the disruptive nature of the works, the contract was condensed into a very tight phasing plan which gave no room for delay. The need to complete the vast majority of the works within the Summer holiday period was of paramount importance. The works remained on schedule throughout and were delivered on time, despite numerous uncontrollable set backs including the discovery of Asbestos lagging within hidden floor ducts which required licensable removal. A very strong work ethic on all parts of the construction team meant that lost time was recovered.
