Is the Client entitled to omit the value of the BoQ items not fulfilled by the Contractor despite it being a lump sum contract? What should be the stance of the Contractor on this matter? What are the Contractor and Client’s entitlements under FIDIC for this kind of a situation? The Contractor disagrees with this and asserts that he took the risk on the lump sum contract and the Bill of Quantities was merely for guidance and valuation only. They stated this was because the Contractor did not complete any of these billed works. However, the Client deducted these items as an omission at final account stage. This is because the items were not included on tender drawings, shop drawing or final as-built drawings. The Bill of Quantities (BoQ) was prepared by the Contractor at the tender stage.ĭuring the course of project closure, some items listed in the BoQ were omitted. The Contract is a lump sum and not subject to re-measurement. This topic has arisen on several occasions so I thought it worthy of a blog. It related to the Bill of Quantities and later drawing issues. Bills of Quantities, Omissions and Claims: I recently received a request for advice from one of our course attendees.
