In construction, quantum merit can be relevant when variations or changes are made to the original plans or when additional work is requested by the employer that isn’t covered by the existing contract. It is not easy to successfully claim quantum merit unless you achieve certain requirements. These requirements include: - The work or materials provided must be outside the scope of the original contract. - The owner must have actual knowledge of and accept the work as it is being done. - There should be an understanding that the contractor expects to be compensated for this additional work. - The amount claimed must represent fair value for the non-compliant work. - No existing enforceable agreement should govern the compensation for the work done. In case the above conditions are met, quantum merit will provide a pathway for contractors to be fairly compensated for work beyond the scope in their original contract.
