  • Further to Wates/BRE meeting on 17th September 2008 and subsequent conversation it was agreed to delay recommencement until 20th October 2008 to enable the FOC material procurement to develop and issue the full set of contacts for the works. This delays the proposed handover by three weeks to 17th August 2009, subsequently incurring additional cost.
