| Work Element | Description of Works |
|---|---|
| Condition Survey | Pre-existing information regarding the condition of the building and associated ancillary areas has been provided in the IPCI in Appendix 1. The PD is to inform the Client, where additional survey or inspections are required to develop the PCI and inform the design process. The PC is required to complete a pre-commencement non-invasive condition survey within all areas likely to be affected by the works, which shall contain written and photographic evidence of the existing conditions. The PC is to identify any areas of concern that may result in additional works being necessary, together with proposed remedial recommendations, within the scope of works. The non-invasive condition survey is to be agreed with WCC/WCCs Client Representative and upon conclusion of the works the PC is to ensure the condition of any areas affected by the works are handed over to WCC/WCC in no worse a condition than at pre-commencement stage. |
| Access Required | Work at height will be required to complete roof renewal work. The PC is to ensure that all work at height activities are risk assessed and that the proposed method of access to facilitate the works is detailed in the CPP and fully costed in the PEP. Should there be any reason that specific access arrangements cannot be fully evaluated and costed for then the Service Provider should identify these together with a defined Provisional allowance within their PEP for each specific item/ area. |
