WEEK 40 - The final lap (Delay = 24 weeks)

With five days to go before the Christmas break, whatever the end of this week brings, it heralds the beginning of the end for this project - in some shape or form. The contractor has been served seven-days notice, which, effectively takes us to Friday. Next week, unfinished work may be completed by a third-part contractor, with any excess costs being deducted from the final bill. Clearly, the whole idea was to complete this project as an all-inclusive package. However, as the contractor has singularly failed to deliver, we have no option but to start removing chunks of outstanding work from the original contract.
