Floor plan

 

At yesterday's coffee meeting floor plans were handed around, and the residents there had fun working out what is going to happen, and where.  And here is the plan -- just a typical one, not representing any one floor.  Unfortunately, it is in colour, so you can see it properly only online, though photocopies will be left on the foyer table (please do not remove), and more will be on display in the Show and Tell tomorrow, Friday 3 December.  

First, the green, blue, yellow and purple lines about the whole building show the stages of scaffolding.  The entire building is not going to be scaffolded all at once, but in stages, as the work moves around. What I do know is that the green is the first stage, and will go up after the hoist has been established at the bottom of the back door steps.

Inside the building, green shows where the more minor work will happen -- fire seals on the doors leading in and out of the lift lobby is a good example.

Yellow shows work that will cause a moderate amount of disruption -- brackets in the bathroom and kitchen of apartment C, the corridor outside, and in the toilets of apartment A.

Purple shows areas of more major disruption -- removal and replacement of entire block walls in apartment C and apartment B; brackets placed around bedroom 3 of apartment B; columns remediated in apartment B and apartment A; brackets in the bathroom of apartment D and the hallway outside apartment A. 

The team at the Show and Tell sessions will be able to explain more.

If you click the image of the plan it should enlarge, enabling you to see the codes on the righthand side (the others have not been done yet).
