Going back to the concrete again, if one cannot build a concrete frame and bring in the beams and shuttering, one cannot put in the windows or heating system. My question is on the sequencing of works on site. Let us say if the contractor does not get the beams and the concrete in in the right period of time, for whatever reason, perhaps the wrong beams or the wrong type of concrete were ordered - that is clearly its problem - but who is responsible for the knock-on effect and the effect on other people's time? Whose problem is it if, let us say, there is a delay in getting the M&E guys in because the frame is not built? Is there a time cost, for example, if a contractor who was booked to come in has to be cancelled?
