Description

The subject of claims is an emotive one and the contractual provisions enabling a contractor to claim reimbursement for the cost of disruption or prolongation are often misunderstood. What is more, those responsible for administering the contract, as well as contractors and sub-contractors, frequently fail to grasp the principles involved. This book looks at some of the problems which arise in the making and settling of prolongation and disruption claims, and it also deals with the related problems of extensions of time and liquidated and ascertained damages. It covers most of the standard building and civil engineering contracts. This book is intended for quantity surveyors, architects, engineers, contractors, solicitors, public and local authorities, and college libraries.
