Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Gronk]

There are no plans because it is still in the tendering stage.
The 3 shortlisted tenderers will come up with their own designs.

Derp if they are tendering, there must be plans and specifications. Amirite ?

Edit. Tendering produces own designs ? Ok derp to me.

 

[Suitman]

No.

 

[Gronk]

Yes i am.

 

[Twizzle]

Now days they use a design and construct brief to allow the builders/developers to come up with their own design which must comply with the brief.

Its one way to stop builders rorting the system by claiming a ridiculous amount of variations (extras) to which public works cannot or wont oppose. Hence the budgets blow out in most govt jobs.

This was brought in place to alleviate that.

 

[Suitman]

Thankyou Twiz.

 

[Gronk]

Told you.

The brief ...

Make Stadium. With grass. And seats. And beer. And shitty hot dogs.

 

[Twizzle]

You dont make a stadium with shitty hotdogs, generally its concrete and steel.

The briefs can actually be a few hundred pages with concept designs.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Mind you a shitty hot dog is virtually impossible to snap and probably has a greater tensile strength than reinforced steel.

Strider could be on to something. Don't stifle the innovation Twiz.

Geez I'm glad Twiz was here to clear that up, I was about to run out to Allianz (closest stadium to me ATM) and have a munch, I'm a little peckish and a hot dog sounds good right now.

Thanks Twiz!

The yanks have been working on the very same concept. Structural hotdogs.

Well thats not very "brief" ... I'm going to challenge the brief's brevity

 

[Gary Gutful]

Compared to the packages that get prepared as part of final design, they are brief Strider.

That looks like Clive Palmer's lunch.

I think I've got half a dozen of them under the seat of my car, let's test this out...

And "safe standing"!

 

[The Engineers Room]

Only problem is the hotdogs would be more expensive than concrete and steel.

Great idea Strides - but can you make the challenge brief please.

 

[Bazal]

We'll need to debrief you on the contents of your brief challenging the brevity of this brief

If there's a meeting, I'll bring the muffins.
