Exposed aggregate Works.

2.1.1 Methodology and Sequence of Work

The Contractor shall not commence any Hardscape work, with regard to laying of
concrete Blocks and exposed aggregate pavement/Shanghai plaster until the
following have been completed:

- All inground drainage completed.

- All kerb edge restraints completed.

- All other inground services laid and complete
