Falmer - will it be ready?

[Billy the Fish]

I would imagine there are penalties for late hand over which is why they want to catch up completely.

Which is all for Buckinghams to worry about. I'm sure there's penalties for them which will then be passed along the line to all the sub contractors who will have their own targets. The fines on these projects tend to make it worth your while to finish the job on time.

3 days behind, 4 days ahead - it doesn't matter, it's a 2 year project.

I'm actually starting to feel quite inadequate after reading NSC, I must be some sort of mental pygmy because other people have the ability to know if a building project will be on time just by looking at some pictures. Why can't I do that, back to special school for me

Anyway, back on planet Earth, does anyone have a link to the article in the programme that showed when and where various stands would be built? Don't know if it was in the same article as the floorplans (They would be nice too) or if it was a separate article.

Do you mean this?

The structuring I would expect to done within the next 6-8 months. I think the work inside the stadium will take a month or two, ie, fixtures and fittings. Wouldn't surprise me if they were a couple of days behind schedule though seen as we had about 2 weeks in the winter where everything was frozen solid and they probably couldn't do any work. Why are some people so pessimistic about things?

Seemed a genuine question to me , and it prompts football / falmer chat which is infinitely better than a lot of bollocks spouted.

We've been shafted for what will be all of some fans supporting lives. Hardly a shootable offence when someone may need some re-assurance

Looks like the arch supports are due to be removed and the roof sheets added in Summer 2010. Sounds like on schedule to me.

To be fair to the lynch mob you are referring to, the thread starter did give his permission...:


'I have no pedigree at all in construction so I will be very happy indeed to have a queue of informed people tell me I am talking out of my arse'

I was told that from the outside the stadium will appear finished by the end of September. Is this realistic or even vaguely likely??

 

[westy]

It will be on time.

 

[Hiney]

I have no pedigree at all in construction

I think you've answered your own question

I read there was over 100 or so workers on site a day and with all those working I'm sure we can get it done well in time. And as people said the structure will be done by late this year (December I heard) then it's all the internal work they need to do.

It is costing £200,000 per day to build - ie 1 million pounds per week! Crazy...

 

[CHAPPERS]

This thread is ridiculous.

 

[Rookie]

Look at how much work has happened since work started about a year ago, which included a god awful winter. I'd say it is on track especially if you follow the plans set out in the program a few month back. Makes a change to panic about Falmer from the panic about lack of new players/lack of contract for Poyet that seems to be taking over

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

For fucks sake. We have an IMMENSE stadium which flying up in truely amazing time and people are worried!? The west stand structure was done in about 3 weeks. It's just staggering!

 

[countrygull]

It's a valid thread, if only to put the poster's mind at rest. I saw Southampton's ground go up and the progress they can make is astonishing. I am also somebody with no construction experience but I feel very confident with the progress they look to be making.

 

[blockhseagull]

I spoke with one of the buyers from the Buckingham group yesterday and asked him how it was going. He certainly didn't seem worried about any timescale issues.

 

[Gazwag]

when is the running track going down?

once the have the hammer net and sand pits in place

 

[jimhigham]

Checking in to see how the thread was coming along. Dougal was right. I'm not in the clique and yes, I DID give permission for an NSC flogging if I could be proved wrong.

It was a genuine question based on, as I acknowledged, a lack of a construction background. To my mind, the thread has served its purpose. I feel a lot better about the project being finished because plenty of people better informed than me have chipped in.

Thanks folks. See you there.

 

[The Grockle]

im sure natterjack said the steel contract finishes in late july and thats when he finishes too so that leaves almost ten months to do the interior and jazz.

if anyone us concerned just look at the sequence of construction in the swindon programe from 2009 and you will see we are on track.
