Hi all,
GROUND REMEDIATION SITE MEETING We had a site meeting today to start the process of groundworks remediations. Builders/QS/Contractors and Geotech discussed their plan forward for the coming weeks. All going well, we should see a start on this around mid week. Anne has deliver a letter to neighbours notifying them of the work that will take place in the coming weeks (this was requested by DCC yesterday as part of our RC). Lets hope for good weather…
ROOF On a different matter, the builders have highlighted a few concerns regarding the status of the ROOF of the existing building. They have already installed a new roof over the future kitchen and extended this to the eastern external wall. There are a few patches in the existing building (see image below).
We had a look at it on site and have asked SW for an estimate to remove the skylights and replace the whole roof with a new roof. Skylights are no longer needed as the proposal is for covering under them. They create areas of potential problems in a near future with old flashings, internal gutters in some situations, etc. Stefan has asked SW to provide a quote for this.
We should be prepared to discuss this and make a desision at our next meeting. It is really important to make a decision quickly as they are currently progressing fast in the existing building while waiting for the ground of the new to be ready for foundations.
Thanks,
Maria
