forming a working team capable of handling the whole process of designing the buildings and preparing the architectural drawings for the projects allocated to them. To each of these groups is allocated the building programme of specific Government departments, whilst other buildings designated 'general' are distributed amongst the groups. This system simplifies liaison with the departments concerned and enables each group to acquire a background of experience of the building requirements of their client departments. Division III is responsible for the whole of the Resettlement and Government Low Cost Housing programme in addition to a number of other projects such as crematoria, columbaria, standard clinics and recreation grounds. Division IV is responsible for military and defence works projects. A minor works group, headed by a Senior Architect, and under the direct control of Government Architect/Administration, dealt with the very large number of minor projects in the programme.
4.09 Details of some of the many projects undertaken by these four Divisions, which were under construction or were completed during the year, are given in paragraphs 4.32 to 4.74.
