## Crew / labour plan (summary — see `_crew-plan.md`)

- Foreman / Site Supervisor: full-time (~144 working days)
- Concretor — Forming: ~80 days, 2-3 men
- Concretor — Reo: ~80 days, 2-3 men
- Concretor — Pour & Finish: ~40 pour days, 4-5 men
- Labourer / Washer: ~15 EA wash days, 2 men

## Pre-start RFIs

**25 pre-start questions** (Categories A/B/C) pre-populated in `06 - Correspondence/06b - RFIs/_REGISTER.md`. Status `Pending` for all. **Get all Category A answered in writing before mobilisation 30 April.**

## Sequencing (S/SE → NW)

Front-load high-margin EA work, start at the SE corner with stairs and pram ramps (most complex, fixed-price items), then track north-west through exposed aggregate, then broom finish.

See `04 - Programme and Scheduling/programme-24wk.md` for the week-by-week plan and `04 - Programme and Scheduling/sequencing-strategy.md` for the rationale.

## Programme float

Starting 30 April gives 24 weeks to 15 October — **3 weeks more float than originally assumed**. Works programme completes by Week 21, leaving Wk 22-24 as pure contingency for weather, access delays, and rectifications. If productivity reaches 180 m²/day, pouring completes by Wk 10 (~11 wks float).

## Profit strategy

See **`_strategy.md`** at job root (LFCS internal — not for client distribution). 8 levers ranked by impact, including:
1. Productivity 160 → 180+ m²/day
2. Curing as variation (excluded from quote)
3. Variation capture for weather + hindrance
4. Sawcuts as add-on scope
5. Front-load payment claims
6. Formwork reuse 3-4 cycles
7. Mesh vs bar confirmation
8. No-rework quality discipline

## Notes from planning session

Source plan generated by Cowork (Claude Desktop) on 2026-04-29 — extracted document saved as `_source-plan.md` for reference.

**Watch-outs flagged at planning stage (v2 plan, 2026-04-29):**
- Curing is EXCLUDED from quote — issue RFI (B3) before applying any cure products at LFCS cost
- Sawcuts not priced — Solutions Plus must decide before mobilisation (B4)
- Coloured concrete consistency requires approved supplier in writing (B7)
- Engineer sign-off after pours is Solutions Plus's responsibility — do not accept backcharge (B8)
- RW11 sandstone wall on west boundary may delay western panels (R6)
