Remove all dust and debris and wash clean. Keep surface well wetted for several hours before laying screed/topping. Remove free water then brush in a slurry bonding coat of creamy consistency. Slurry: ]
As an alternative to wetting and slurrying, prepare, prime as necessary and apply a bonding agent to manufacturer's recommendations. Bonding agent: [_________]
Lay screed/topping while slurry or bonding agent is still wet to ensure a good bond.
BATCHING/MIXING/LAYING
310
BATCHING: Proportions of mixes made with dense aggregates are specified by weight and, where practicable, should be batched by weight. Volume batching will be permitted on the basis of the previously established weight:volume relationship(s) of the particular materials and using accurate gauge boxes. Allow for bulking of damp sand.
330
MIXING:
Do not use admixtures containing calcium chloride. Water content of mixes to be the minimum necessary to achieve full compaction, low enough to prevent excessive water being brought to the surface during compaction. Mix materials thoroughly to a uniform consistence. Mixes other than no-fines must be mixed in a suitable forced action mechanical mixer. Do not use a free fall type (drum) mixer. Use while sufficiently plastic for full compaction.

Appendix A: Project Description & Purpose The purpose of the refurbishment of the rooms in the HC Building is to modernise the functionality and appearance. I have estimated an approximate budget of £30,000 for the whole project, we can’t put the total in ourselves as the document would need to go to tender for this to happen, but we need to estimate a budget in order to get a contingency total (7.5% - 10%). The Floor in the room needs to be replaced; In this case it has been specified for the old flooring to be removed and any repairs to make to the screed base. The type of flooring I have chosen to specify is carpet tiles purely for the fact that they are hard wearing (when laid correctly) and easily maintained. The use of the room is for university students to have their tutorials and lectures. So the electrical equipment such as projectors and computer systems need to be up to date; to replace the scroll down screens that were used with the old overhead projectors and now just a waste of space. The Design and fit out of one room can be used as a model in order to refurbish the rest of the rooms within the HC building. The refurbishment also includes repairing and repainting of the walls, and installation of a new suspended ceiling.

This approach assumes design team know exactly what they want, it has been worked out exactly how it should be done, allowed by European legislation to specify products, manufacturers etc. and prepared to warrant the design, taking full responsibility for the end product being fit for the purpose it is intended for. Whereas a Performance specification is used where the design team have no visual requirements but wish for the contractor to select suitable materials and install them to meet stated criteria, they may not always confirm what will be provided but only what has to be achieved, employers do not know what they are getting when entering into a contract, there requirement is only that the end product performs to its function and meets all statutory regulations. With a performance specification it makes it difficult to control quality and clients perception, cheaper products may be used and aesthetics may be poor as the contractor wants to save money where possible and the outcome is not certain. However the positives include that fact that they are quicker and easier, a specialist is not always required, and it can be used as a generic document. Ref No: AM/01/SU

Performance specifications also specify the standard or ‘performance’ of different elements such as heating systems. It will also cover fuel, boiler type, radiator style, how and where pipes should be fitter, temperatures required for the space and sustainable issues. How to design a heating system CIBSE knowledge…

Descriptive Specifications have been designed to make the best use of varying skills of those involved in the process of delivering modern building. They can generally be flexible which may cause problems in the long run. Its main function is to define scope, design intent, procedures for completing detailed design, quality control and to provide the contractor with fair indication of the solutions that are acceptable. Contractors are required to use their specialist expertise to complete the detailed design and in consultation with the design team and to work in harmony together in order to find the best approach, manufacture and install the works and provide necessary warranties and guarantees. The need to prepare a contract specification that fully represents ‘the buy’ is fundamental to the successful use of a descriptive spec if claims and variations are to be later avoided. Large complex buildings tend to require the descriptive approach while the traditional design solutions are more suitable to prescriptive. Ultimately descriptive specifications are best for the design & build design path, as it enables the design team to pass from client to contractor. Novation in practice When novation happens, the original contract is superseded by a new contract between the one of the original parties and the new third party.

The reason to assign or novate: changing the parties bound to a contract in law, the principle of privity of contract means that only the parties to a contract have the obligation to fulfil it and the right to enforce it. (Statute law has created a few exceptions but they apply rarely). The concepts of novation and assignment have been developed to overcome the restrictions imposed by the doctrine, namely how do you change the parties to an agreement.
