C2 2

Where more than one system is employed, the area measured for each system is the area serviced by the system.

C3 3

Work to existing buildings is to be described and identified separately.

C4 4

Where the contractor is only responsible for designing specific elements and/or components of the building project (i.e. not the entire building project), contractor-designed work is to be described and identified separately.

C5 5

The percentage additions for testing and commissioning are to be applied to the total cost of the items comprising the sub-element. A single combined percentage addition can be applied to cover the costs of both testing and commissioning.
