Construction Contracts - Power to the Program

Time is of fundamental importance to construction contracts.

Budgets, interest rates, cash flow requirements, market pressures and the interrelationships of activities and other projects combine to make it so. The principal wants the project completed, the financiers want to know the cost of borrowing and the contractor wants to plan operations within the constraints of time, so as to maximise profits and minimise risk.

This paper provides an overview of implications for the use of Construction Programs in construction contracts.
