An investigation by an engineer has ascertained that the structures:

consist of suspended timber floor on strip and pad brick footings; cavity brick walls with brick parapets up to 1.5 metres above roof height; and timber-framed roofs with corrugated iron roofing: the second floor in the two-storey building is timber framed. Interior fittings include timber stairs and cabinetry. Windows are a mixture of timber and aluminium-framed panels

has been partially damaged by fire: this has only affected the single storey structure on the corner but some severe damage was observed to the ceiling/roof framing although no collapse of materials/structural elements has occurred

that apart from caution having to be taken with the damaged ceiling and roof in the corner building, the structural integrity of the remainder of the buildings is sound

although the above roof parapets are stable, appropriate bracing/stabilising temporary support will need to be provided to enable controlled and safe removal of these elements

the remaining elements of the buildings can be demolished using standard demolition practices

It is proposed to maximise reuse/recycling of materials as much as possible.

1.List and briefly describe the main work activities/requirements for carrying out the demolition described, covering the following aspects:

a.documentation required,

b.protection measures, and

c.sequence of demolition (include explanation using structural principles)

2.Go to your local council and find out what is required to be provided to council (and other regulatory bodies) for this demolition project if it were in your jurisdiction. (If you cannot find anything on your local council website, go to https://www.cowracouncil.com.au/index.php/2013-02-21-04-31-28 but it is recommended that you do further research regarding licensing and authorisation requirements). Provide copies of, or links to reference materials that you have used.

3.Nominate a standard form of contract that could be used for this demolition project. Include details of the publisher, and details regarding what types of project it suits (note that this project is not a residential demolition).
