Concerns over the new college
40 Answers
I like how at every meeting about the new college that's being built people have asked 'will it be finished on time' and it's the question on the top of the list of frequently asked questions on the website. Yet I heard, 2 months after they started building, they were already 2 weeks behind, although i'm not sure if they've made that time up yet or not, or if they're even more behind now . . . .What do you think the chances of it being built by May are, considering they have to have the roof on before winter sets in to be able to do the inside, and we've already had bad snow, and the roof's not on yet?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Molly I have been personally involved -on a really small domestic scale - and each time I enforced a time penalty which each contractor was happy to go along with.That way he kicked arse when needed and I got the work done on time -happy all round.
I would be very surpised on commercial premises they dont have a time penalty -so the contractors will be eager to get this finished as soon as possible as after each day its costing them a helluva lot of money.

I can assure you they will be on a penalty -so it will be finished rather than later -trust me.No-one can afford to work for nothing nowadays especially in the building trade during the winter.
No ifs buts or maybes -i have family in the business and as I said I have personal experience and they cant afford to delay any contract nowadays neither can men afford to be laid off like my dad used to be during the winter.Take it as read Molly.

here's a link to the faq page i referred to; http://www.l6fc.org/a...ntly-asked-questions/ Luckily I can get a bus there from the end of my road to opposite the current college, which it is next to, but it takes about 25 to 30 minutes to get there!
Not really red. The BUILDING works will finish in May and then the internal fit-out will commence. I have worked in a construction related industry fro the last 20 years and of all the hundreds of projects I've dealt with about 10% finish on time. Penalty clauses are notoriously difficult to enforce in law.
