A deal is a deal

Article Abstract:

Additional work costings can be the cause of many construction project disputes, with clients often wanting to pay less for extra work whereas contractors often wish to charge more. UK legislation states extra work charges should be based on original prices and costings if the work is of a similar nature but completely different work should be revalued totally. An original inaccurate costing should still be used regardless of consequent additional works and costings.

Up hill and down dale

Article Abstract:

It is important for construction contractors and developers in the UK to be aware of need to take into account the impact of their work on properties uphill or downhill from the actual construction site. A number of cases have also reinforced the fact that liability for damage caused to uphill or downhill properties can also apply to natural hazards. In general, occupiers owe a duty of care to neighbouring occupiers in relation to hazards occurring on their land.

Slow burner

Article Abstract:

The complex nature of some construction industry court actions can be made even more arduous by the deliberate slowing down of the legal action by either side involved, thus lengthening the action quite considerably. The courts will often make every attempt to encourage both sides to speed up the action, with some judges taking a more formal approach so as to ensure full agreement between disputing parties.
