I would suggest that those valuing the works - consultant if appointed - deducts the value of the "prelims" i.e. site hutty things from the valuation. In short, don't pay for works that are (or are deemed to be) included in the tender/contract sum but not actually provided.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
