The issues of Scope, Variations, Delays and Extensions can put real pressure on the profitability of projects. Most contracts provide a contractor with sufficient opportunity to preserve their anticipate profit.
Lack of understanding of these concepts and clause can erode that profit. Intelligent focusing on these concepts can preserve and enhance project profitability. How do you do this whilst still ‘getting on with the job’ and not ‘fracturing the relationship’.
