Ask the owners to clarify the specification with the surveyors. In the event of an incident due to failure, their get out would be you didn't reduce enough. Do too much and you may be criticised by the owner or the surveyor.

 

The spec is useless, ten different experienced climbers would probably do ten different things. It's a poor state of affairs that the person employed to manage the site, the specialist, turns out specs like that.

I agree with comments made by sloth. The spec is a joke, completely ambiguous. Very unprofessional.

The firm who did the survey was going to do the actual work until them and the main contractor fell out, i get the feeling that's why the lack of info. going to have a closer look tomorrow and come to my own conclusions.

Unless it has a TPO I would just go for a heavy reduction to leave yourself in the clear, and charge accordingly.
