North Stand Construction Discussion

It started in June. This is all part of it mate.
This is just ground preparation work.from a separate planning application. The main construction work is scheduled to begin in November ! Unless a contractor had been annouched the main work is still out for tender although it seems Sisk are almost certain to get the job .

Is this new info?

Yes all true, but those works are still a big part of it. The deadline doesn't happen without those works under way already, and the November main construction doesn't begin without it.

There will be many overlaps, and what is 'main' to one person won't be to another.

For all intents and purposes though, the project has started. How the rest unfolds time will tell.
 
October was the original planned date for starting construction but @bluesmith has said it might be pushed back.

I keep saying this, it all depends on what people consider as 'starting', and what 'main' means to them.

Both are technically right, there would have been works in October and November. And there have been works since June. There is no clear black and whit start, it overlaps. For example week 33 of the original programme (may have shifted, but as an example) there will be drainage works, roof removals, roof installation, and concourse installation all overlapping. Impossible to call anything in clear line terms. Other than the ultimate start and finish.
 
Does anybody out there in the construction industry know about Sisk history on other contracts. Stories about the new contractors on the Anfield extension say a lot of the internal work needs redoing and just wonder about how Sisk are viewed in the industry.

I'm comfortable with them being appointed. Must have been a reason we didn't appoint Laing again considering they were in discussions and did the South Stand and our owners know the construction game pretty well.
