The client, an educational body, intends to demolish an existing old building within a university campus and replace it with a new building with the same footprint but with one additional Storey. There are existing electrical and other services within the building, which will have to be incorporated into the new building but need to be temporarily maintained or relocated as these feed other buildings on the campus.

You are a firm of construction consultants covering various disciplines, including project management (PM) and quantity surveying (QS). The client has engaged your team to carry out the PM and QS roles on this project. 

Demolition of the old building will require the existing staff and equipment to be moved out before work can commence, either through a separate contract or by inclusion in the main contractor's scope. 

You should assess the contractual options available to the client and explain how you could facilitate either approach.
