Item rate with a certified monthly bill
Retail at ground and first floor, offices above, on a main-road plot with no side access and a footpath that had to stay open throughout. The largest job we have run inside the ring road.
The ground floor was handed to tenants three weeks ahead of the contract date, which mattered more to the client than anything else in the programme.

What was difficult
Every delivery arrived on a live main road. We took a night-delivery permit from the ward, unloaded between 21:00 and 05:00 for eleven months, and kept a flagman on the footpath in daylight hours. It cost about 4% of the labour budget and avoided every complaint we expected.
“We opened the ground floor to tenants three weeks before the contract date. In this city that is not normal.”
