In the tender, if the client allows certain money amount as provisional sum such as $10,000,000. for soft landscaping. In this case, how should the main contractor make allowance of time in his programme for the soft landscaping work.
I usually put a task in the programme e.g. Client to give instruction for provisional sum for soft landscaping works (at the very begining of the project, in order to request client to issue details for the works) and make says allows 2 months for the works according to past experience. Do yo think this is correct ?
However, if the client issues the istruction very late and the works is much complicated than normal soft landscaping works. Do you think the main contrator have grant to claim for extension of time?
Thank!
