It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

Originally posted by CTU View PostNo it was a standard fitout in the Apartments for a housing association. Having worked in the industry and have seen what unrealistic time frames and cost cutting can do to a project, I would prefer quality over quantity. Especially when people have to sleep in them at night.
5 star hotels use room pods.
Luxury apartments use room pods.
Equally, budget aparthotels use room pods.

Originally posted by CTU View PostThat is a standard time frame for Practical Completion on a standard Commercial Shell and Core project. Does it have any tenants signed up yet? If not then the Tenant's fit out requirements could add a few months to the actual completion and occupation dates.

All you have to do is look at Ronan Point or most recently Grenfell Tower to see what hapens when you put all your faith in "new technologies" and it goes catastrophicly wrong .

Like trying to compare a 1960s VW bus with a 2020 transporter. Would ya shhhtaaap

“Stop what you’re doing!” cries a supervisor, halting the work of a gang of electricians on Tottenha...
And that's not a isolated case in the industry, I have experienced a number of things that sometimes I have thought about writing a book.Last edited by CTU; 12 March 2020, 21:16.It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.

b. The new build at Haulbowline is to be within the preserved shell of a Victorian Limestone Building, some podding might be useful, but pick contractors carefully, as there are many buildings around that were designed to be cheap on tender and grew legs to get an acceptable standard of finish. Safety in modern projects and the materials used must be analytically selected. There was a time when asbestos was the answer to fire safety etc.etc.
c. If you want to induct temporarily, from the reserve or otherwise, people with high level skills, such as Civil Engineers, Surgeons, IT specialists, procedure specialists of any type, then you must pay them their profession's going rate with an agreed specialist rank structure for the period of service.

Five acres of Defence Forces land in Bray Co Wicklow is being 'transferred' (not sold) to Wicklow County Council for housing.
Given its location, I would say it would easily fetch €5 million on the open market, money that the cash strapped Defence Forces badly need.
Business as usual at the useless DoD and from the part-time Minister.

As far as I know it’s leased not owned
There was a plan to build a new courthouse (since built elsewhere) and homes there about 15 years ago. Lots of objectionsLast edited by DeV; 27 October 2020, 10:56.
