Provision Sum in Library Building Project: Chapter-05 Claims

The document discusses variations that commonly occur in construction projects and two alternatives for valuing those variations during interim valuations. Variations can include changes to the design, materials used, or timing. When valuing the main contractor's work, one alternative is to ignore variations and account for them separately, while the other is to consider omissions and only add the value of additions as variations. In practice, a combination of the two approaches is best, with the first used generally and the second for variations affecting an entire section.

CHAPTER-05 CLAIMS

5.1 Variations in selected projects

A change in shape of the scheme, the introduction of different materials, revised timing and
sequence are all usually provided for by the variations clause. Normally the variants are considered
as common and entirely unavoidable part in any construction project. These variations are
happening by several reasons. They present a difficulty in the context of interim valuation for
several reasons.. Like that normally the each and every variation can be valued either
approximately or accurately as soon as possible after issue.
There are two alternatives

The first is to ignore variation when dealing with the work measured in the bill and the
omission to be allowed for when adding the net value of variation.
To take the omission into account when valuing main contractors work and adding the
value of addition only against the variation subhead.
In practice, a combination of those two alternatives will serve best. The first may be used as a
general rule and the second being used where a complete section or group of items in the bill is
affected by a variation.
