Abstract

Contractors’ claims for loss and expense have long been a contentious issue on many building contracts. Contractors’ claims for additional money arise where the actions or failings of the Employer and/or its agents delay or disrupt the Contractor’s regular progress of the works and cause the Contractor to suffer unexpected loss and/or expense in performing its contract.

These lecture presentation notes examine the topic of compensation claims under the Irish 2019 v2.4 Public Works PW-CF1 Form of Contract. The presentation outlines the grounds on which a claim for compensation may be sought under this contract and outlines the administrative procedures to be observed in relation to such claims.

This lecture presentation is intended to support students in Ireland undertaking undergraduate and conversion masters courses in quantity surveying and construction management related disciplines.
