Quantification and Substantiation of Contractual Claims Part III: Additional Site Set-up Costs/Preliminaries Charges
by Mark Entwistle, FDBF
|
This month features Fellow Mark Entwistle's third installment in his series
Quantification and Substantiation of Contractual Claims.
Although the first two articles in this series addressed Head/Home office overheads and disruption claims, the subject of this third article is no less challenging than the previous two and can sometimes be even more complicated.
Mr Entwistle further explains the differences of 'Preliminaries Charges' and more site-based costs thusly: "This subject relates exclusively to the resources that the claiming party (contractor or sub-contractor) applies to its general management of the work it is contracted to undertake. Those resources (site-based, generally) are to be differentiated from Head/ Home Office resources which are usually priced into a project by the determination of an appropriate percentage applied to the overall cost or value of the works."
