Please quote for option A and option B separately.
Option A:
1: Site clearance‐ see drawing A
Excavation of the site, it has been estimated that there is 3600m3 of soil needed to be cleared to prepare the site for the building(s). There is an existing area of concrete to the north east of the existing cubicle building which has a fall of 2.04m over approximately 80m (a fall of 2.5%). A similar fall will be required for the new site. The site needs to be cleared suitably ready for construction. All soil should be moved to another location near to the site. Please see attached levels drawings. 2: Buildings
Dry cow Building‐ see drawing B
Supply and erect farm building include footings as described below.
Dry cow building: 24m long (4x 6m bays) x 24.38m wide internally with a 2.133m (7ft) overhang on either side of the building. From the lowest point of the overhang to the ground level a minimum distance of 3.656m (12ft) is required. This should be at the lowest point as the ground level falls at
