materials damaged shall be removed from the site immediately and replaced with sound
materials.
2.02. The Director of Buildings may require the Contractor to submit samples of any samples
materials to be used in the works and if so required the Contractor shall submit samples
without delay. The Director of Buildings may give or withhold approval of any submitted
samples, and in the latter case may require the Contractor to re-submit further samples until
an approved sample is submitted. All materials in the works in respect of which samples have
been submitted shall be equal in all respects to the samples in order to check that actual
materials used in the works correspond thereto.
