Specific issues / problems

A combination of a shortage of steel fixers in the area and a tight City Centre location meant ROM's Complete Value Added service proved essential to the success of the project. Just
on time deliveries of over 450 Tonnes of Reinforcement in various forms (as detailed) in the basement foundations/slab helped the Subcontractor complete the package ahead of schedule and under cost.
