Good evening bosses in the building .


Am I supposed to install the aluminum windows before plastering my little build or I can install the windows after plastering.


I'm still undecided between sliding Windows and casement windows till now.

Good evening all.

I want to write some notes on two terms that are not clearly understood in the context of construction contracts. I've said it here, times without number, that construction job is a contract either an expressly written contract was entered into or word of mouth agreement. As long as there is an offer to execute a job and a consideration (renumeration) for such job, a contract has already been established.

Construction job is very complex and complicated processes, as such there are bound to be issues during the construction stage. One of such prevalent issues is VARIATION. I've heard people use this word loosely, even in wrong context. So, I've make it my duty to define the word this night and differentiate it from another term that's confused for variation which is know as FLUCTUATION.

What's Variation?

According to Joint Contract Tribunal (JCT) 2011 with quantities, the term Variation means:

1) the alteration or modification of the design, quality or quantity of the works including:

(i) the addition, omission or substitution of any
work;
(ii) the alteration of the kind or standard of any of
the materials or goods to be used in the works;
(iii) the removal from site of any work executed or
site materials other than work, materials or
goods which are not in accordance with this
contract.
These are most recurring scenarios on site.

Fluctuation on the other hand refers to change in price of materials during the period of the construction contract.

Typical examples.

A change of window opening in the design to built up block work is an example of variation while the increase in the price of block from 250 during the contract bill preparation to 300 during the construction phase is an example of fluctuations.

NB: Variations in construction projects do not necessarily lead to increase in the construction cost.

These terms are very important in contract administration.

Let me stop here tonight.

Have a pleasant night rest to everybody here.

Do you have the drawings?

Yes you can install the window before plastering because the windows suppose to be ramp with nylon in other to prevent the window from being stain
Thanks

This is a professional advice to u sir, when the plastering is going on make sure ur windows and wooden frames are available on site before the plasterers leave the site including your front entrance security door into your family lounge and kitchen exit door is available, the plasterers have no choice than to fix, dress and make this windows and doors frames stand to beautify their work, but if fail to provide it for them, they will do their job and leave your site, but when those windows and frames doors are ready the plasterers may not have your time again because they will have been engage or have nothing on them to live on,when u called them back to site to fix these windows and doors frames they will charge u extra cost for your inconvenience to them at that point.

Take this points I gave u to the bank u will get value for it and thank me later.

God bless u in this journey

Are there circumstances whereby a contractor may claim increased costs of materials on a fixed price contract?

For me, I believe a claim for an increment in material should not arise because the essence of a fixed price contract is that the contractor prices higher taking care of such risks like fluctuation of costs.
If this discussion extend beyond this, I’d share valid reasons why I think so.

I have been involved in a project where the initial 2 year contract duration was extended by more than a year due to Variations. The Project Engineer in fairness to both the client and the contractor stood his ground and we ended up getting nothing extra. Even our prolongation cost was based on the BOQ rates.

I’m asking this question simply because I want to know if the same logic applies if the market price is halved?

Yes, there are circumstances whereby a contractor can claim increase in the price of materials. For instance, a material that's meant to imported from another country might be increased in price due to unforeseen import duty by the receiving country. Scarcity or economic fluctuations are valid ground ground for these. We should bear in mind that there's always a duration between the period a contract is bidder for and won and the actual execution. The price increase we're talking about here is during the contract execution which is not the express fault of the contractor.

n3xt:



Are there circumstances whereby a contractor may claim increased costs of materials on a fixed price contract?

At the bolded, if you price your bill of quantities higher in a competitive bidding, you are not likely to win the contract. The strategy is to price your contact bills at the prevailing market rates. The issue of fluctuations is well taken care of in the conditions of contract.

For me, I believe a claim for an increment in material should not arise because the essence of a fixed price contract is that the contractor prices higher taking care of such risks like fluctuation of costs.
If this discussion extend beyond this, I’d share valid reasons why I think so.

At the bolded, that could have been the right thing that was done depending on the nature of the variation. I need to say that there are methods of valuing variations which include:
1) if the work is the same character as it's in the contract bill, then the contract rate shall apply.
2) if the work is not of the same character as it's in the contract bill, then a new rate will be established.

The truth is contract rate are rarely changed during project execution.

I have been involved in a project where the initial 2 year contract duration was extended by more than a year due to Variations. The Project Engineer in fairness to both the client and the contractor stood his ground and we ended up getting nothing extra. Even our prolongation cost was based on the BOQ rates.

At this last bolded part, this is a rather uncommon situation and if there's going to be any claim for reduction in price of materials like you cited, it's going to be the project sponsor. I've not had experience with such so I don't have facts to back it up. The only thing I'm sure of is that it can be decided in a court of law and hence form a precedent.

I’m asking this question simply because I want to know if the same logic applies if the market price is halved?

Now talking about the bolded: I would take it that you do not rule out the fact that variations in “Construction Projects“ can lead to increase in construction cost!
