The Main Works Civils Contract Stage One period is focussed on design development and preparation for construction. During this period, HS2 Ltd is working with the Main Works Civil Contractors to look at opportunities to reduce construction time and costs prior to the confirmation of the delivery stage (Stage Two) of the Main Works Civils Contracts.
