Sundry items

Sundry items (also known as sundries) are miscellaneous small items or works that do not readily fit into standard categories and so are classified as being under sundries.

Sundry work can include:

• Material testing.
• Works testing.
• Protection of the works against inclement weather.
• Protective casings and coverings.
• Debris removal.
• Traffic regulations.
• Maintenance of roads and service installations.
• Drying the works.
• Control of noise and pollution.
• Statutory obligations.

Some of the most common items that are classified as sundries include:

• Home improvement items (e.g. mirrors, door bells).
• Fixing and finishing materials.
• Adhesives.
• Consumables (e.g. abrasives, masking tape, sandpaper).
• Ironmongery items (e.g. hinges, locks, handles).
• Industrial items (e.g. pallet racking systems).
• Brick, block and stone works (e.g. wall ties, weep vents, expansion joints, airbricks, cavity trays, restraint straps, herringbone struts, access panels).
