Scope of work
-All the roofing tiles will be removed, cleaned and placed back including replacement of all broken ones.
-New galvanized roofing sheeting will be placed on the entire roof before the tiles are placed back. This is meant to address the current roof leakages in the building.

-All external surfaces of the building including all the commonly shared spaces i.e. corridors, toilets and student lecture rooms will be painted and broken glasses replaced. The existing stone finishes around the skirtings will be cleaned.
-Razor wiring is to be placed on top of the existing ridge lines and valleys to prevent birds from landing on the tiled roof and causing breakages to the tiles.
Time-frame - Two months
