    Hi,

    You can simply find it here. What do you mean by above "lamb" sum (lump)? Remeasurable contract causes a lot of headache...while lump sum is very risky...

    hope that helps...

    Hi Azvi,

    I learn it when I started to work. Also the contract documents defined basics terms in the contract.

    Another way is to make friends with QS. They invented re-measurement. They will be glad to explain to you the fundamental of QS.

    Cheers,

    Charlie

    Hi
    My advice ;-
    *read properly the contract documents(condition of contract,Bill of quantities,contaract agreemet,specification......etc)specificlly for your contract.

    *The only chance to issue avariation with addetional quantities and without incresing the contact duration is:-

    -if the addetional quantities are related to original scope activities and representing not more than 15% of the original contact amount or thos activities which have a total float ,in the approved base line programme,bigger than the required duration for construction in which the addetional quantities will have no any negative impact on the programme.

    Dear All

    First of all , i m new here and I do not Know how and where i can ask my question ?  .

    Any way I want ask  question here.

    We have project  conisits of 10 parts and all the project must be finished in 4 monthes , but it took 10 month because of the delay of  NOC  (  obstructions )  FOR EVERY PART  .

    if the contractor submit claim   for extension of time , then when we have to study his claim and assign the actual date of getting the  NOC FOR EVERY PART on primaver P3  .  we have to put the actual % of work done at site or  we have to put dates only without precentage of work done

      

     

     

    Best regards

    Dear azvi, They say that if

    Dear azvi, They say that if you start well then you will landed very well..my advice is to study first the pertinent documents before proceeding to your planning... I recommend FIDIC for your reference... 1st of all you need to know the advantages & disadvantages having lump sum contract. For the client..it says that they almost have the advantages, aware of the amount and expected variations. Also, most of lump sum contract require performance bond...so their on safe side... Now, for contractor side...if contractor performed very well, they will get the lump sum amount with no penalty at all, plus variation orders...additive change orders...plus extension of time claim...an appropriate contingeny plan s very applicable back up with proper logs and reports.

    Hi, mr. Azfi and mr. Ashraf

    I recommend you advice for mr. Ashraf which it is most reasonable and logical.

    Moreover , you should firstful identfy notice of variation by contractor if it is in his scope of work or not and in line with contact conditions and if he is entitled for the the same check its impaction on critical path of baseline program.

    Thanks all
