- A subsidence survey, specifically to detect subsidence, foundation failure indicating the weight of the structure can no longer be supported by the foundations.
- Tree survey only if nearby tree roots are found as the cause of subsidence.
- Structural surveys if subsidence is detected and properties are affected: to diagnose potential works and for building monitoring to evaluate the extent of the structural issues over a period of time (typically over the 4 seasons).
The maximum funding envelope for this contract is 拢171,000 under a 2+1 year contract. Any tender submission that exceeds this financial limit will be deemed non-compliant and will be rejected without further evaluation.
