Concrete Repairs - Schedule

Following on from the concrete survey and the concrete report, the BEO have produced a schedule of works to address the issues found.  The schedule covers the whole process from survey to repair, so most of the items on the schedule have already happened.  The outstanding one are in bold at the bottom.

Regarding costs, the schedule says that the exact costs will not be known until later this year, but the current estimated costs for Ben Jonson House are ~£140 per flat.
