Issue:
Pre-commencement conditions for two new nursing homes had to be discharged before February 2021 to allow for construction to proceed on-time.
How we helped and added value:
As a first step, we immediately identified the documents and information required to discharge the conditions, and ensured that the contractor and other consultants were fully briefed to provide this information. We then co-ordinated the production of this information, providing comments on the information and ensuring the submission to the Council was consistent.
We then worked closely with the Council to allow for the majority of the conditions to be discharged early, in December 2020. We co-ordinated the production of updated information for the remaining condition, allowing this to then be discharged in January 2021 - still prior to the 8 week determination date and prior to the February 2021 start date for the contractor.
