Construction Law: ”Back to Basics” - How do you deal with change during the construction of the works?

In the third episode of our Construction Law “Back to Basics” podcast, Gwilym Evans and Chris Lamb look at why it’s important to make allowances in your contracts to reflect the likelihood that changes might arise on a project after works have begun. In particular, this podcast touches on:

• what is meant by “provisional sums” and how these work in practice
• who takes responsibility for any changes when it comes to additional time and costs that may be incurred as a result of a change
