Hi,

I am trying to justify overspending on Man Hours in Engineering because of the big, big... increasing in quantities.

Some of the increased quantities are demosntarble by changes but others not.

The problem is that is difficult to explain that I spend more resourses when i need to design bigger structures, pipes, etc.. inside the same phisical space. Design Disrruption.....

Any Idea??

    Thanks Omer,

    The question should be:

    Is it possible to structure a claim for increased quiantity of engineering (more piping, concrete, cables, etc...), without changes in the scope of work ?

    If yes, please an example.

    Thanks,

    Jorge

    Hi Jorge

    You do not say if you are trying to claim for extra time or money.

    As always it all depends on what it says in the contract.

    Usually extra work is recoverable in both time and money unless the Contractor has agreed to take on the risk.

    Best regards
