[200William-EC SP67851] SP 67851 - URGENT Variations 2 & 3 Request for Approval & Meeting Minutes 07.07.17

Wed Jul 12 09:19:53 AEST 2017

Hi Patrick and EC,

I'm comfortable with what is outlined however concur that we should seek
advice from the engineer and also check costings against the original
scope. Can't remember the detail but I thought at least some of the
outlined works were in the original scope.

Regards

Robin
