N.B.
I would like to draw attention to the fact
that, after laying out the site, the area of the site ⟦unregrettably⟧
proved to be larger by something like 19 sq. metres than
is shown in the plan from which the quantities in the
contract agreement have been ⟦taken⟧ out. Consequently, certain
items, notably the raft & roof slabs will have greater costs
than has been stipulated for. However, the sum total of the
tender may not appreciably be increased when the works
shall have been completed.
