How design and build works

Anderson's note

Lowering an existing cellar, a loft and an extension on one terrace is three party wall awards, one scaffold and one structural model — the underpinning sequence sets everything else. Doing it as one programme rather than three separate jobs is what kept it to 65 weeks.
