Posted By Robert K Lewis Back to the contract - do you have a single contract for all 25 properties if so then the answer is yes - notify. If there is 25 individual contracts then no do not notify providing the start date and end date fall within 30 days of each other. In reality I cannot see where all these notify or not problems arise from. It is rather like the angst expressed over the phrase "on behalf of". It is as if the regulations are creating new legal situations or notification is a major issue. All construction work must be properly planned whether notified or not and all need file information at the end of the project no matter what the size of the work. Bob

Posted By AJM Thank you thus far, Robert, Yes they are individual contracts for individual properties with each one being paid for after job completion and yes everything handed over including safety file and 0&M file to the individual site. They are however all running concurrent so as one property is completed they move onto next. It isn't really a problem and i am NOT looking for a way out of notifying. All i am trying to do is understand it better. All work is being planned and files accordingly etc with regular meetings between all parties. Ron, Yes, and thanks for the constructive reply, I don't believe Notifying would add any value in terms of risk management with a project like this, but obviously notifying means extra parts of the regulations apply. All sites are being completed 2 at a time and a dedicated project manager will be there for the duration of works. All things like Asbestos surveys and plans are available for each site. The welfare issues are not a problem as these are all buildings with running water and toilets etc and very clean. It would make common sense to just manage it as we are and the notifying is a side issue, but i like to leave no stone unturned as they say. Thanks Again, Alan
