Prompted further about the ‘approved’ drawings, Lawrence said he had no discussions with Studio E about why they were marked as approved, and that he didn’t remember whether he noticed they were marked as such at the time.Īn ‘as-built’ drawing – a drawing containing changes made from initial plans and submitted by a contractor after a construction project is finished – was also shown to the inquiry. When asked by QC for the inquiry Richard Millett why the drawings were marked as approved, Lawrence said: “I don’t think we know why but I would assume that it was a Harley internal process to say it’s ready to go out to be checked, but that would just be my guess.” In some cases, Rydon was not included in the email chain at all. The drawings were marked with an “approved for construction” stamp before Studio E and Rydon had seen or commented on them. Simon Lawrence, who was Rydon’s contract manager on the Grenfell Tower refurbishment between 20, was shown emails from 2015 detailing plans for the building, including drawings for the crown feature at the top of the tower. Designs were deemed “approved for construction” by cladding specialist Harley Facades, without being seen by contractor Rydon or Studio E Architects, the Grenfell Tower Inquiry has heard.
