02 / Abridged extract

Forming an opening is not one line of work.

“Form opening and make good” leaves the tenderer to decide what support, cutting, lintel work, reinstatement and finishing have been included.

SPECWORKS CLAUSE EXTRACTR SERIES

FORMING OPENING IN EXISTING MASONRY WALL

Preliminary checks: Confirm the location, finished opening size, wall thickness, construction and loadbearing status before starting. Check for concealed services and report discrepancies affecting the work.

Stability: Provide temporary support sufficient to maintain the stability of the wall and supported construction throughout the operation.

Formation: Carefully cut the opening to avoid unnecessary disturbance to retained masonry and adjacent finishes. Install the specified lintel with the required end bearing onto sound masonry.

Making good: Form jambs, reveals and soffit accurately. Reinstate disturbed fire stopping, acoustic construction, plaster, skirtings and adjacent finishes to maintain the performance and appearance of the retained construction.

Abridged for the website. Published clauses include the full requirements and project-selection information.
