You wouldn't normally do that, but this building contains a series of objects surrounded by voids.rnThere have been three building contracts. Originally it was a traditional contract with the contractor taking the risk. But after Alsop went into receivership, Galliford terminated that contract by agreement, and it only came back on the basis of a construction management agreement, where the client would take the risk.rnThat's the only basis on which the project can be finished.
