4 PRICE & PAYMENT

4.1 The Subcontract Sum is a fixed lump sum price for all work required under the Subcontract and shall not be adjusted except as expressly permitted by the Subcontract.

4.2 The Builder will pay the Subcontractor in progressive instalments.

4.2.1 The Subcontractor has returned an executed copy of the Subcontract Instrument of Agreement to the Builder.

6.3.1 The Subcontractor must notify the Builder in writing within three (3) days of the date on which any event which may cause a delay to the Works occurs. The Builder will grant the Subcontractor an extension of time to the Works, if, in the Builder‟s opinion the delay will cause a delay to the Works, and the Subcontractor is not directly or indirectly responsible for the event causing the delay, has taken all practicable steps to avoid or minimise the delay and, (where applicable) only to the extent that the Builder is granted an extension of time for the delay by the Principal, provided that;

a) the Subcontractor has complied with its obligations under Clause 6.3 of this Agreement;

b) the Subcontractor has taken all steps to anticipate, minimise, mitigate or prevent the delay or the effect of the delay; and

c) the delay is beyond the reasonable control of the Subcontractor and is due to:

i Inclement weather;

ii acts of prevention by the Builder, Principal or their agents;

iii any act, default or omission by the Builder, its consultants or agents;

iv a variation, provided that the Subcontractor has otherwise complied with Clause 7 of this Subcontract; or

v industrial relations not directly caused by, contributed to or involving the Subcontractor occurring before, on or after the Date for Practical Completion.

d) the Subcontractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Builder that the delay affects the critical path of the Subcontractors activities current at the time of the delay.

e) any extension of time to the Date for Practical Completion granted by the Builder shall be in writing and signed by the Builders Project Manager.

f) if some causes of delay fall within Clause 6.3.1 c) and some do not, the Subcontractor must make an apportionment of the delay according to the respective causes of the delay. If delay caused by the Subcontractor is concurrent only with delay due to a cause listed in Clause 6.3.1c)iii, then the Subcontractor will not be entitled to an extension of time for that period of delay.

g) the Subcontractor must provide any details and information to assist in the assessment of an extension of time claim as and when requested by CICG.

6.3.2 The Builder may extend the Works Completion Date at any time even if the Subcontractor has not provided a notice under this clause, but the Builder is under no obligation to exercise this discretion fairly or for the benefit of the Subcontractor.

6.4 Rate of Progress

The Subcontractor shall proceed with the Works expeditiously, must constantly use its best endeavours to avoid delay



in the progress of the Works and shall do all that may be reasonably required by the Builder to expedite the completion of the Works. The Subcontractor accepts the financial risks of all increased costs and all losses however incurred or sustained in the execution of the Works, and which result directly or indirectly from any changes in sequence, delay or disruption which occurs or arises in connection with the Works. The Subcontractor acknowledges and agrees that any extension of time granted by the Builder shall be the Subcontractor‟s sole remedy for any delay or delays including, without limitation, any delay or delays caused by any breach of the Subcontract by the Builder (“Delay”). The Subcontractor further acknowledges and agrees that the Subcontractor shall not be entitled to any increase in or adjustment to the Subcontract Sum, or to any other monetary compensation or damages (including damages for breach of Subcontract) losses, costs and/or expenses suffered or incurred directly or indirectly by the Subcontractor and/or its secondary Subcontractors from a Delay, or any disruption caused by the Delay.

6.5 Compliance with Programme

The Subcontractor must comply with any programme requirements directed by the Builder including the preparation and updating of basic programs for the performance of the Work. The Subcontractor must also cooperate with the Builder and other Subcontractors on the Project to ensure that the Works are completed as soon as practicable, and in any event by not later than the Works Completion Date.

6.6 Coordination

The Subcontractor shall ascertain the requirements of other Subcontractors to the Builder, and shall provide the Builder with all necessary information to enable the Builder to coordinate the installation of the Work so as to minimise interference with other work, and to secure the execution of the Project in the most efficient manner. The Subcontractor shall cooperate with the Builder and all other Subcontractors and make all necessary arrangements with the Builder for access to the Site.

6.7 Liquidated Damages

If the Works do not reach Completion by the Works Completion Date nominated in the Schedule or those dates issued in the Construction Program as extended under the terms of this Subcontract, the Subcontractor shall pay or allow the Builder by way of liquidated and ascertained damages the amount specified in Item 14) of the Schedule from the Works Completion Date up to and including the date the Works reach Completion. The Builder may deduct any liquidated damages accruing under this Clause from any moneys which may be or thereafter become payable to Subcontractor by the Builder.

If a delay by the Subcontractor causes or contributes to the Builder becoming liable for liquidated damages under the Head Contract, in addition to the Subcontractors liability under Clause 6.7, the Subcontractor shall also indemnify the Builder for its liability for liquidated damages payable under the Head Contract (in the amount specified in Item 15) of the Schedule) including any other loss or damage that the Builder has incurred the Subcontractor must pay to the Builder its proportionate share of that loss or damage.

The subcontractor acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damages payable under Clause 6.7 are a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered by the Builder as a consequence of delay to the Project if the Subcontractor fails to achieve a Milestone by the date required under the Construction Program or to bring the Subcontract Works to Completion by the Date for Completion.

7 VARIATIONS

7.1 The Builder may at any time and from time to time vary the Works by notifying the Subcontractor that the Works are to be varied and providing details of such variation ('Variation Notification'). A Variation Notification under this clause will expressly state that it is a Variation Notification issued under this clause of the Subcontract and may include a drawing, instruction or direction which demonstrates or explains the variation to the Works.

7.2 If the Subcontractor considers that any drawing, instruction or direction issued by the Builder which does not expressly state that it is a Variation Notification issued under this clause of the Subcontract which will or may give rise to a variation, it must notify the Builder in writing within five (5) days of issue of the same that the Subcontractor considers it is a variation. If the Subcontractor fails to provide such notification but nevertheless proceeds to carry out the work which is the subject of the drawing, instruction or variation, it is not entitled to any claim to the Subcontract Price or to make any claim for payment under this Subcontract or to any extension of time to the Date for Practical Completion or otherwise at law.

If the Builder issues such an instruction, the Subcontractor must provide the Builder with details of the impact of the variation on the cost and Date for Practical Completion as soon as



possible thereafter;

7.3.3 the actual additional cost or saving in respect of the variation shall be as agreed between the Builder and the Subcontractor, and absent agreement between them within such period as the Builder may allow, as determined by the Builder applying reasonable rates;
