As-Built Programme in Delay Analysis — Foundation of the EOT Claim

As-Built Programme in Delay Analysis — Foundation of the EOT Claim In a delay claim, the as-built programme is the foundation on which everything else rests. It is the record of what actually happened on the project — when work started, when it stopped, when it resumed, and when it completed. Without a credible as-built …

Assignment of Construction Contracts — Rules and Restrictions

Assignment of Construction Contracts — Rules and Restrictions When a project changes ownership — through a sale, refinancing, corporate restructuring, or insolvency — the question of what happens to the construction contract becomes critical. Can the contract be transferred to the new owner? Can the contractor object? Who is liable if the original employer no …

Battle of the Forms — Whose Terms Govern?

Battle of the Forms — Whose Terms Govern? The battle of the forms is a classic problem in commercial contract law, and it arises with particular frequency in construction and engineering supply chains. The typical scenario is familiar: a subcontractor or supplier quotes on its own standard terms; the main contractor responds with a purchase …

Collateral Warranties — Third Party Rights in Construction

Collateral Warranties — Third Party Rights in Construction   The law of privity of contract is well established: only parties to a contract can enforce it. In construction, this creates a structural problem. A building is constructed under a contract between the employer and the contractor. The employer sells the building. The purchaser discovers defects. …

Concurrent Delay — Attribution and Entitlement

Concurrent Delay — Attribution and Entitlement Understanding Concurrent Delay in Construction Projects Concurrent delay is one of the most complex and debated concepts in construction law and delay analysis. In simple terms, concurrent delay occurs when two or more delay events overlap in time, with at least one attributable to the employer and another to …

Contract Formation by Conduct — When Behaviour Binds

Contract Formation by Conduct — When Behaviour Binds In construction procurement, the gap between commercial agreement and formal execution is often filled by activity. Contractors start on site. Employers receive work. Invoices are submitted and partially paid. Months pass. Then something goes wrong — and both parties discover that no one ever signed the contract. …

Contract Interpretation — The Objective Approach

Contract Interpretation — The Objective Approach Contract disputes frequently arise not because the parties’ obligations are unclear in fact, but because the words chosen to express those obligations are ambiguous, inconsistent, or incomplete. The process by which courts resolve these ambiguities — contract interpretation — is governed by well-established principles. Understanding those principles is essential …

Contractor’s Programme | Contractual Status and Obligations

Contractor’s Programme  Contractual Status and Obligations The programme is the single most important management document on a construction project. It defines the intended sequence and timing of works, establishes the critical path, and provides the baseline against which delay is measured. Yet its legal status — what the programme actually obliges the parties to do, …

Contractor’s Right to Vary the Works — Scope and Limits

Contractor’s Right to Vary the Works — Scope and Limits The variation clause is the employer’s most powerful tool in construction contract management. It allows the design to evolve, scope to be adjusted, and priorities to shift without the need to renegotiate the entire contract. But it is also one of the most frequently abused …

Entire Agreement Clauses — The Limits of Prior Negotiations

Entire Agreement Clauses — The Limits of Prior Negotiations Pre-contract negotiations in construction are extensive. Tender clarifications, commercial meetings, site visits, employer briefings, and scope discussions all take place before the formal contract is executed. Parties may make statements, give assurances, and exchange information that shapes the contractor’s pricing and programming assumptions. Then the formal …

Float in the Programme — Ownership and Consumption

Float in the Programme — Ownership and Consumption Float is the lifeblood of programme management. It is the scheduling contingency that allows a project to absorb minor delays, re-sequence activities, and adapt to changed circumstances without immediately impacting the completion date. But float is also a battleground in delay claims. Which party can consume it? …

Grounds for Extension of Time — Employer Risk Events

Grounds for Extension of Time — Employer Risk Events The extension of time clause is the central mechanism through which delay risk is allocated in construction contracts. It determines who bears the financial consequences of project delays — and, where liquidated damages are in play, whether the employer retains the right to deduct them. Understanding …

Implied Terms — What the Contract Did Not Say

Implied Terms — What the Contract Did Not Say No construction contract is complete. However carefully drafted, every contract will encounter situations it did not specifically address. When that happens, the parties frequently disagree about what their obligations are — and courts are asked to resolve the gap. The mechanism for doing so is the …

Letters of Intent — Binding Effect and Legal Exposure

Letters of Intent — Binding Effect and Legal Exposure   Letters of intent are a daily feature of construction procurement. They allow employers to authorise early works — mobilisation, long-lead procurement, enabling works — before the formal contract documents are finalised. In practice, however, they are one of the most poorly drafted instruments in the …

Liquidated Damages — Genuine Pre-Estimate Requirement

Liquidated Damages — Genuine Pre-Estimate Requirement Liquidated damages are one of the most commercially important provisions in construction contracts. They give the employer a simple, certain remedy for late completion — without the burden of proving actual loss. But they are also one of the most challenged provisions, because a clause that imposes a sum …

Misrepresentation in Construction Contracts

Misrepresentation in Construction Contracts The relationship between employer and contractor begins long before the contract is signed. During the tender process, information flows from employer to contractor — site investigation reports, design information, planning consents, utility records, programme requirements, and budget expectations. If any of this information is false, and the contractor relies on it …

Notice Requirements for EOT Claims — Time Bars and Condition Precedents

Notice Requirements for EOT Claims — Time Bars and Condition Precedents Notice requirements in construction contracts are not bureaucratic formality. They are, in many contracts, the gateway to legal entitlement. Where a notice requirement operates as a condition precedent, failure to give notice is not cured by demonstrating that the delay event was real, causally …

Omission of Contract Work — Limits on Employer’s Right to Omit

Omission of Contract Work — Limits on Employer’s Right to Omit The right to vary includes the right to omit. This is clear in every standard construction contract. What is less clear — and frequently disputed — is whether the employer’s right to omit is subject to any limitation. The answer, established by case law …

Priority of Contract Documents — Resolving Conflicts

Priority of Contract Documents — Resolving Conflicts A construction contract is not a single document. It is a collection of documents — each drafted at a different time, by a different person, with a different purpose. The conditions of contract establish the legal framework. The specification defines technical standards. The drawings show the design intent. …

Provisional Sums — Definition, Expenditure, and Recovery

Provisional Sums — Definition, Expenditure, and Recovery Understanding Provisional Sums in Construction Contracts Provisional sums are a fundamental yet often misunderstood component of construction contracts. In practice, provisional sums are allowances included within the contract sum for work that is not fully defined at the time of tender. However, a common misconception is that provisional …

Sectional Completion and Partial Possession

Sectional Completion and Partial Possession Large construction projects rarely complete as a single entity at a single moment. Hospitals hand over ward by ward. Retail developments phase their openings. Infrastructure projects commission in sections. The legal framework for managing these phased completions — sectional completion and partial possession — has significant implications for the liquidated …

Time at Large — When the Completion Obligation Is Lost

Time at Large — When the Completion Obligation Is Lost The prevention principle is one of the most powerful doctrines in construction contract law, and its consequence — time becoming ‘at large’ — is one of the most serious legal outcomes an employer can face. When time is at large, the employer loses the right …

Valuation of Variations — Rates, Star Rates, and Reasonable Cost

Valuation of Variations — Rates, Star Rates, and Reasonable Cost When a variation is agreed in principle, the next question — often equally contentious — is how much it is worth. Variation valuation is not simply about measuring quantities and applying contract rates. It requires a structured analysis of the applicable pricing mechanism, the character …

Verbal Instructions for Variations — The Written Confirmation Requirement

Verbal Instructions for Variations — The Written Confirmation Requirement Construction sites run on verbal communication. Decisions are made, instructions are given, and work proceeds at a speed that formal written procedures cannot always match. The site manager who needs a problem solved doesn’t wait for a written instruction — and the subcontractor who wants to …

Weather Delays — Exceptionally Adverse Conditions

Weather Delays — Exceptionally Adverse Conditions Weather is the original force majeure of construction projects. Every contractor prices for weather risk, every programme includes weather allowances, and every project is delayed at some point by conditions beyond the contractor’s control. But the contractual entitlement arising from weather delays is strictly defined — and significantly more …
