Article Abstract:

It is unlikely quantity survey adjudicators will be called upon to consider many cases of variations in contracts but their existence will influence contractors and quantity surveyors to act reasonably. The Standard Form Contract JCT80 refers to the management of the value of variations in construction projects. A contractor has to reply to a variation instruction, given by an architect, within 21 days stating the cost of the variation. The employers quantity surveyor either gives an alternative price or accepts the contractors price. The contractor has 14 days to accept the new price.
