Other Specialised Services

These activities require specialised skills or equipment. The subclass of specialised construction activities (other than scaffolding erection) are listed in Section F 43999, which includes: • construction of foundations, including pile driving • damp proofing and water proofing works • de-humidification of buildings • shaft sinking • erection of steel elements • steel bending • bricklaying and stone setting • erection of chimneys and industrial ovens • work with specialist access requirements necessitating climbing skills and the use of related equipment, e.g. working at height on tall structures • subsurface work • construction of outdoor swimming pools • steam cleaning, sand blasting and similar activities for building exteriors • renting of cranes and other building equipment, which cannot be allocated to a specific construction type, with operator.
