EP 19

In this episode, Paul and Liam catch up with Jason Farnell, Adjudicator and CEDR Accredited Mediator from Commercial Risk Management, to discuss variations.

We put forward the following scenario to Jason:

We are a Main Contractor working on a JCT 2016 Building Contract with a £3m lump sum Contract Sum. The client (the property developer) is looking to amend an element of the works and has issued an instruction to omit a large portion of your scope relating to the M & E. The results are to be completed by Another company. The works are valued at approximately £300,000, including circa £30,000 of profit.
