Introduction: risk analysis and management; risks and records; reimbursable risks; non-reimbursable risks; sources of change and disruption -- Establishing the base: planned change; unplanned change -- Effect of change on programmes of work: use of programmes; use of built programmes; change without prolongation; prolongation of the works; analysis of time and delay -- Sources of financial information for evaluation: the contract provisions; tender documents and information; tender calculations and assumptions; invoices and cost records; accounting information -- Evaluation of the direct consequences of change: unit rates and prices; unit costs; subcontractor and supplier costs -- Evaluation of the time consequences of change: the causal link; prolongation; disruption; acceleration; global claims; overheads and profit; formula approaches -- Other sources of claims: letters of intent; termination of employment; errors, omissions and contradictions; fluctuations in prices; incomplete and defective work, etc. -- Minimising the consequences of change: contract preparation; alliance and partnering contracts; early warning systems; the claims industry -- Appendices: example of financial accounts; example of management accounts -- Table of cases
Summary: Textbook offers overview and advice on various aspects of contract variations or disruption and aims to offer more detailed guidance on what should be included in payments (an area that is often fraught with confusion). This version is updated from the original printing and covers the revised JCT 2005 contracts and the 2005 New Engineering Contract, as well as commentary and examples drawn from recent case law. Focuses on the quantification of claims, as opposed to the establishment of liability and the specific requirements of individual forms of contract.
