Unless otherwise agreed, all materials will be delivered to site.

Any and all materials purchased or manufactured by the Company as part of the project shall remain the property of the Company until payment for the project has been received in full.

The Client will provide mains electricity and water on site, the cost of which will be borne by the Client.

The Client will allow access to the site within the agreed working hours and throughout the agreed duration of the project.
