Question:
Seagull Ltd purchased land for use as its corporate headquarters. A small factory that was on the land when it was purchased was torn down before construction of the office building began. Furthermore, a substantial amount of rock blasting and removal of soil had to be done to the site before construction of the foundations of the building began. Because the office building was set back from the public road, Seagull Ltd had the construction company build a paved road that led from the public highway to the entrance to the office building.
