IntroductionA copy of the pre-release information for this examination is included in the following pages.
The materials contain drawings and specifications relating to a house and a Granny flat.
The drawings and specifications pertain to a house which has been constructed close to a river in a provincial town. The site is slightly elevated.
The client is a private client who has employed the following people to oversee the design of his development:● Architect● Site Engineer● Quantity Surveyor
The contractor will be appointed on the basis of selective tendering. The contractor will employ the following team:● Site Engineer/Manager● Bricklayers● Joiners● Plasterers● Plumber
Your client has asked the design team to look at the practicalities of using renewable energies where possible.
The contractor will have a telescopic handler on site.
