With a bit of luck they'll have to knock it down and start again

Mentor,

This is different problem but you are correct that the steel contract would be liable for the costs.

The increased costs discussed previously were to do with design issues.

A major cock-up by the steel contractor who will swallow the additional costs that everyone was concerned about.

The Club were in legal discussions with the Construction company after they downed tools until Sam was sacked. The board wouldn't make any promises and the lawyers then got involved.


All sorted now, but that is what caused the delay.
