What this work involves
Let working height, loading, ground conditions, access and protection of occupants determine the appropriate provision.
- Working height and arrangement
- Access and protection
- Assembly, inspection and duration
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Base design and specialist assessment on measured facade details.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw a scaled elevation showing existing and new windows together. Resolve the roof-edge, wall and window junction before deciding from an atmosphere image alone.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
Compare the complete intervention
Allow a separate item for making good around the junction. The new wall may be precisely priced while adjustments to existing pointing, mouldings and finishes remain missing.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on size, duration, ground conditions and assembly access. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for scaffolding & site access. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging scaffolding & site access?
Scaffold hire, assembly and inspection are separate elements. Define responsibilities and the work the arrangement is intended to support.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
