Site conditions in a construction project (also called latent conditions) are generally taken to be conditions that could not reasonably have been foreseen during the tender process and/or prior to the commencement of construction. They may be on the site itself, beneath it or adjacent to it. Encountering a project site which is “materially different” from what was expected can add significant cost and time to the project. In this article, we provide some basic strategies to help both principals and contractors deal with differing site conditions when negotiating a construction contract. https://bit.ly/3NJKxRK #constructionlaw #riskmanagement #contractmanagement #siteconditions #latentconditions

Construction projects typically require a multi-disciplinary approach for managing project costs. A logical, common-sense approach is required, which involves managing costs at the outset, during the tender stage and right through the project life cycle, to project completion. Understanding construction project costs in detail is essential for stakeholders to ensure that the project is delivered on time, on budget, while maintaining the desired quality standards. In our latest blog, using examples, we provide a simple way to categorise costs for a typical construction tender project by classifying them as either: 🡆 visible costs; or 🡆 hidden costs. https://bit.ly/4fxTUC6 #constructionlaw #constructionprojects #classifyingconstructioncosts
