Cyclical and external decoration in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Each block gets a pre-paint survey, and repairs are agreed before decoration starts, so the paint goes onto sound material.

Which rules apply in Wolverhampton?

Social landlords are commercial clients under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so the full client duties apply. Where there is more than one contractor, the client appoints a principal designer and a principal contractor.
