  1    Consultation                Consultation occurred between relevant stakeholders;
                                   • Clients and adjoining property owners
                                   • Crane owners and suppliers
                                   • Local council, electrical authorities, Airports
                                   • Architect and engineers
                                   • Erecting and dismantling contractors
 2     Crane Type:                 • Crane Quantity – look at construction program requirements
                                      - Diesel or electric crane
        •   Jib                       - If diesel crane – noise issues
        •   Base                      - If electric crane - power requirements (may need Genset)
        •   Capacity                  - If Genset needed – location and noise issues
        •   Configuration          • Luffing or flat top crane
                                   • Jib length – can the crane reach all site requirements
                                   • Crane capacity – check panel weights and radiuses (allow for lifting
                                       gear when checking)
                                   • Crane configuration – climbing, free standing
                                      - If climbing – type of climbing – internal or external
                                      - Tie or yoke requirements
                                      - If free standing - access issues, above 60 metres
                                   • Base Configuration – starter/ vsl bars, rock anchors, static base
                                      - Piling requirements
                                      - Access for equipment
 3     Site location and Crane     •   Crane Rigging Requirements
       Positioning:                   - Erection mobile crane requirements (most expensive
                                           component of erection)
        •   Rigging Requirements      - Crane climbing requirements –tower and climber direction –
        •   Wind                           (for dismantle once the building is built)
        •   Underground services      - Dismantle options – climbing down, mobile crane size,
        •   Air space                      recovery cranes and requirements – check with bis and
        •   Unauthorised access            dismantle crane supplier prior to finalizing the position of the
        •   Aircraft                       tower crane
                                   •   Site located in a wind-affected area
