Well if correct that is some progress, but it does not look likely that build will start then until April at the earliest, can't see any builder having everything in place before then.
As long as the plans are there, the builder would only need to have the machines brought to site on low loaders. If the site is clear and ready to dig out they could start straight away.
The 1st stage of the build is the digging out which providing the is no problems is quick. They will pour the concrete as they dig out.
If the ground is going to be piled then that takes longer and could drag the build out.
I know for a fact the the stadia will be mostly precast which also saves huge amount of time.
I've also heard some of the precast will be made in st helens local to the site.
So soon as the job is awarded it won't be long at all before you see the build start. It won't look like much is being done at 1st as we start from ground up.
Last summer we had a job in widnes, we poured 20,000 meters of concrete in 6 weeks, so you can see the speed these jobs can do.
These days buildings are thrown up in no time depending on problems and also the great English weather.
