The works will include alterations , materials supply and fitment, There will be an element of collaboration required working with the Council , Architect and Design Teams for some component aspects - for example cross over responsibilities including fire and alarm systems & lighting for full integration.

This will then enable the Design Team a similar timeframe for their installations . Project final end date is expected to be New Year 2026, which therefore aligns both the Building and Design separate contract end dates to be marked as 31.12.2024.
