    Study Notes

    Force Majeure Consequences in Construction Contracts

    • Contractor is entitled to an extension of time for any delay caused by force majeure and payment of any related costs.
    • Engineer must proceed to agree or determine the matters after receiving a force majeure notice from the Contractor.
    • If a subcontractor has broader force majeure relief terms, it does not excuse the Contractor's non-performance or entitle them to relief.
    • If force majeure prevents the works for 84 continuous days or more than 140 days in total, either party can terminate the contract.
    • Upon termination, the Engineer determines the value of the work done and issues a Payment Certificate.
    • The Payment Certificate includes amounts payable for work, cost of plant and materials, other reasonably incurred costs or liabilities, removal cost of temporary works, and repatriation cost of staff and labor.
    • Parties can be discharged from further performance if an event or circumstance outside their control arises, making it impossible or unlawful to fulfill their contractual obligations.
    • If the Contractor believes they are entitled to an extension of time or additional payment, they must give notice to the Engineer within 28 days of becoming aware of the claim.
    • Failure to give notice within 28 days disqualifies the Contractor from an extension of time or additional payment, and the Employer is discharged from liability.
    • The Contractor must submit any other required notices and supporting particulars for the claim, along with keeping necessary contemporary records.
    • The Engineer may monitor the record-keeping and instruct the Contractor to keep further contemporary records.
    • The Contractor must permit the Engineer to inspect all records and, if instructed, submit copies to the Engineer.
