specification.

This specification shall be read in conjunction with the following Standards and references, which
are deemed to form a part of this specification.

Demolition of Structures
2.2 Materials – Demolition
All materials, equipment and service within the demolition area are to become the property of the
Contractor except those specifically stated or shown on the drawings as remaining. The salvage
value or dumping costs of these materials and equipment should be taken into consideration by the
tenderer in arriving at his tender price.

for the reuse of valuable second-hand resources.

excessive and unsightly accumulation of demolition materials and rubbish

not limited to:

not damage services to be kept live. It is the Contractors responsibility to check the status of each
service as they are identified.
