And if they don't handover on time McLaren's have some serious penalties to pay. Not if the government shut it down they wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight a bad choice. Not sure they installed a covid 19 clause all that time ago Heard a whisper building merchants and suppliers are set to close down in the next week or so. But would guess they have most materials on site so they maybe able to carry on. After all I'm sure the place is big enough to social distance although maybe a bit much asking 1 man to wire the whole place up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a Force Majeure Clause in the contract to cover situations like this. If not, then whoever checked the draft on behalf of the Contractor is incompetent.

I work on Ship Charter Contracts including Force Majeure Clauses on a regular basis. Some drafters like the 'Act of God' term. Now is a Global Pandemic and of God? I can imagine Lawyers getting very fat in the wallet on that subject. I will PM Nostradamus later as he is bored right now without any FT Match Day threads taking place.

At least not formally. And the indoor pitch use has a bit more clarity - before it’s been suggested it was for academy players to get used to a match experience - first time I’ve seen it referred to as a hub for the club’s first team “training regime, providing year-round training and integration with performance-monitoring technology.” Still, very exciting.

I work for an Engineering Consultancy, and all of the jobs we are involved in are still running, albeit, mainly large scale and schools. The housing sector has pretty much ceased though. As you said, where it's safe, they are to continue, unless the Site Manager or Client deem otherwise. We are still expected to be doing site visits and snagging etc, though obviously in safe, minimal numbers, rather than the whole team rocking up at once. Using AR/camera fitted hard hats and similar technologies, some surveys are able to be conducted from home, with just one person on site with the tech, while others view and comment from home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelcfc Posted 2 April 2020 Share Posted 2 April 2020 Walked along the training ground yesterday and full steam ahead and looks truly awesome.... Trees and decor are sat waiting to go in.. car park barriers going up .. . No turf yet though on the most easterly pitches and the golf course looks like it will be a side project for when the main facility is done... I know they had issues with Tarmac deliveries this week as it was deemed non essential work ... Assume they got around that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
