The project has not been without its criticism, both for the long delays in delivery, and the design which some likened to the carcass of a turkey.

Carcassing refers to the main shell, frame or skeletal structure of a building. It may or may not be the overall structural or load-bearing element of a building as it also refers to individual elements rather than only to the whole. It is included in section G of the common arrangement of work sections classification (CAWS) along with structural elements as Structural / Carcassing Metal (G1) and Structural / Carcassing timber (G2) with subsections covering various different elements in metal;

* G10 Structural steel framing
* G11 Structural aluminium framing
* G12 Isolated structural metal members
* G13 LSF Light Steel Frame

and in timber

* G20 Carpentry/Timber framing/First fixing
* G21 Load-bearing timber blockwork
* G22 CLTP Cross Laminated timber panel system
* G23 Post and Beam frame
* G24 Laminated timber frames
* G25 LTF Light Timber Frame
* G26 SIPS Structural Insulated Panel Systems
* G27 ISPS insulated structural panel system
* G28 Dowelled/Nailed stacked wood panel systems

By example, other items that also come under section G but are not necesarily structural / carcassing elements are;

* G3 Metal/ Timber decking
* G30 Metal profiled sheet decking
* G31 Prefabricated timber unit decking
* G32 Edge supported/Reinforced woodwool slab decking
