OOo interesting one. Mind if i start then somebody can shoot me down?!
Watching briefs do tend to be solo efforts, unless of course you actually find more than was bargained for in which case having someone else on site is a bonus. BUT you must discuss this with your manager and the client as this has cost implications. On the odd occassion I have done watching briefs I have usually managed to get the plans etc from the guys onsite or the client. Such plans tend to comprise the technical details and should include heights- and often in CAD format. If you need a hand with levels you can always ask one of the other contractors to hold a staff. If you treat them with respect and do not p*** them about you should be okay.
