    D/L for such a project is plumb crazy.

    Would be better to get ‘shell & core’ contractor, and m&e contractor and direct labour the finishes (if you really want the headache)

    you need shell & core contractor for accountability to be responsible for compliance with design details & 1st Air test. m&e contractor to be responsible for part L compliance including UFH/heating system/MVHR and final Air test ( they should witness the first test, and be handed over the building to complete their part)

    Personally I would figure out a way to reduce the footprint by 10/20% and make the whole contract one guys responsibilty.
