remove old greenhouse and build new one. New concrete floor. Some concrete to remove

Suggested Line Items -------------------- - Section: Demolition Item: Remove existing greenhouse/shed structure Why: Notes say the old greenhouse/shoddy shed is to be removed before the new build starts. - Section: Demolition Item: Break out and remove existing concrete Why: Site notes mention some concrete to remove, so allow for demolition and cart-away of slabs or pads. - Section: General Item: Waste disposal / skip allowance Why: Removal works will likely generate waste, rubble, and timber needing disposal. - Section: Concrete Item: New concrete floor Why: Client wants a new concrete floor, so this should be clearly included as a separate scope item. - Section: Concrete Item: Concrete foundations / slab prep allowance Why: A new greenhouse may need slab edges, footings, or prep work depending on the final design. - Section: Framing Item: Timber framing for new greenhouse/shed structure Why: The existing structure is being replaced, so allow for the new frame/carcass. - Section: Roofing Item: Corrugated iron roofing or roof covering allowance Why: A replacement greenhouse/shed will need roof covering, and this library item may suit if corrugated iron is being used. - Section: General Item: Measure-up and site set-out allowance Why: The job sounds like a replace/rebuild, so an allowance for checking dimensions and setting out will help. Possible Cost Library Matches ----------------------------- - Suggested item: Remove existing greenhouse/shed structure Possible library match: Demolition | General demolition labour - Suggested item: Break out and remove existing concrete Possible library match: Demolition | General demolition labour - Suggested item: Waste disposal / skip allowance Possible library match: General | Waste disposal allowance - Suggested item: New concrete floor Possible library match: Concrete | Concrete path - Suggested item: Concrete foundations / slab prep allowance Possible library match: Concrete | Concrete Foundations - Suggested item: Timber framing for new greenhouse/shed structure Possible library match: Framing | Timber wall framing - Suggested item: Roof covering allowance Possible library match: Roofing | Corrugated iron roofing Assumptions ----------- - Assume the client wants the existing greenhouse/shed fully removed before new work starts. - Assume the new greenhouse is a like-for-like small structure unless a larger size is confirmed. - Assume the new concrete floor is a simple slab or pad, and not a polished or special finish. - Assume access for demolition, concrete, and materials delivery is reasonable. - Assume any reused materials are not included unless specifically confirmed. Exclusions / Clarifications --------------------------- - No exact size, layout, or finish level has been provided. - No windows, glazing, doors, vents, shelving, or internal fit-out have been mentioned. - No electrical, plumbing, drainage, or irrigation scope has been mentioned. - No landscaping, reinstatement of garden areas, or driveway repairs have been mentioned. - No consent, engineering, or compliance allowances should be assumed from the notes alone. Risks / Missing Scope --------------------- - The existing structure may be worse than expected once demolition starts. - The concrete to remove may be more extensive than currently noted. - Soil condition, ground level, and drainage could affect slab cost and build method. - If the greenhouse is larger or heavier than the current one, the frame and slab scope may change. - Weather exposure during rebuild could affect timing and temporary protection needs. Questions to Ask the Client --------------------------- - What size is the new greenhouse/shed meant to be? - Do you want it rebuilt like-for-like, or changed in design/materials? - Should we remove the whole existing structure or just the damaged parts? - How much concrete needs to be broken out and removed? - Do you want a simple concrete slab, or is there a specific floor finish required? - Do you want doors, windows, glazing, vents, shelving, or gutters included? - Are you planning to reuse any existing materials? - Is there easy access for a skip, concrete truck, and materials delivery?
