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.
- 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).
