Challenges

Public access to the front of the toilets had to be maintained at all times with deliveries organised for minimal disruption to the public.

We had to be aware of noise levels during the demolition phase of the works within the facility.

There was restricted access for deliveries and machinery to the site due to the situation of the facility.  Vehicular access was limited to delivery only with parking permits issued by North Norfolk District Council during the contract period.

Location of the storage container and site hut was had to be agreed with the Council as it was on a car park facility.
