The pace of work seemed to slow somewhat this week. This was mainly because some of the work we thought was complete actually needed redoing or adjusting in some way. This was true for the scaffolding which was inappropriately designed for the external cladding work and required adjustment. Similarly we had to rework the roof line extensions as they turned out to be inadequate. And we had to drain and recommission the solar thermal system in order to complete the heat meter installation. All of this extra work could have been avoided with better planning or forward thinking. Not only does this impact on the schedule but it also breeds an air of discontent amongst workers on site, managers off site and tenants alike.
Work completed this week included:
- Scaffold adjustments
- Roof line adjustments
- Heat meters installed
- Concrete front door canopies broken off – this was done to minimise the risk of thermal bridging and new canopies will be provided
- External wall insulation boarding out
Boarding out the front of the house
Boarding out the rear of the house
