Well...the saga with PD continues....long story short - there has been hardly any progress past 3 months.
Basically, PD haven’t even got a frame compliance certificate from their own building surveyor as there are still some defects that remain unfixed! The old framers have scooted and they are having issues finding replacement trades. This is preventing them from carrying out any structural works on site. The old SS is off the job now and we now have a new SS. I have been put in touch with the construction manager directly and he has promised to get things back on track.
Meanwhile, I have asked for a refund of frame stage invoice and compensation for the delays which is being looked into as they have acknowledged that these delays are entirely their responsibility.
