Is it ok to rise claims for long lead items or equipments that their long time procurement caused a delay in the project ?

 

Is the Client fault to specifiy such items that aren't available in the local market ? or the contractor's fault for not ordering these items on earlier stage of the project ? and what are the cases for both parties for which the blame would be on them.

 

 

Thanks.

    You can build a claim for long lead item based on the concrete grounds such as

    1. Late submission of material submittal by the contractor
    2. Design issues by client
    3. Change instruction for specification issued by the client

    Hi Mamoon

    If the Employer has asked for a bespoke piece of kit that only comes from one named supplier - say a lift or heavy dutu pump - then if that supplier does not deliver within the agreed time then your first claim is against the supplier with a fall back claim against the Employer.

    The contract however will most likely place all the risk on the Contractor so you will have to go other legal rights to get redress which will not be easy.

    Best regards
