| Work Element | Description of Works |
|---|---|
| Condition Surveys | Blocks: AllPre-existing information regarding the condition of the building and associated ancillary areas has been provided.The Service Provider is to inform the Client, where additional survey or inspections are required.The Service Provider is required to complete a pre-commencement condition survey within all areas likely to be affected by the works, which shall contain written and photographic evidence of the existing conditions. The Service Provider 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 condition survey is to be agreed with the Council's Client Representative and upon conclusion of the works the Service Provider is to ensure the condition of any areas affected by the works are handed over to the Council in no worse a condition than at pre-commencement stage. |
