It is crucial that site visits take place on a regular basis to ensure that structures fit the space and the layout utilises existing socket and data outlets, whilst accommodating other fire requirements and security cameras within the space.

During the build phase, which will be tendered separately by the NAM and managed by the NAM, the designers will be required to attend site at various phases of the build.
