Contracting Dilemmas

chain of paperclips under strain

There is no such thing as a trouble-free project. Risk is inherent in every project, large or small, simple or complex. Re-measurement and Cost Reimbursable Contracts are becoming increasingly rare whilst Fixed Price, Lump Sum and Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contracts are currently in vogue.

The risks that stem from projects are the same issues that raise contracting dilemmas. Do we accelerate to catch up or do we seek an Extension of Time? What are the potential costs of both?

Should we pursue our variations/claims through negotiation, adjudication, mediation or formal means? What is the likely cost of each option? How successful could we expect to be?

I have a problem and just don’t know what to do. The answer is: seek expert advice early.
