Question:
 
 You are tasked with preparing a procurement and contract strategy and a strategic method statement for the construction of the road realignment, fuel area (pumps, tanks and canopy), retail unit and carwash and associated amenities (air compressor/vacuum).  
 It is proposed that the work be carried out in several phases including demolition of existing buildings and enabling works, groundworks and fuel tanks, fuel pump bases and canopy, retail units and car wash and upgrading of the level crossing.
