{"product_id":"law-of-construction-variations","title":"Law of Construction Variations","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn construction projects, it is often not feasible to address every detail and aspect of the required works in the contract documents. As a result, certain specifications are implied or inferred to be part of the contract, provided they are reasonable, necessary, and do not conflict with the express terms of the agreement. This can lead to disputes, as the contractor may not have accounted for or priced these implied aspects, potentially resulting in a claim for a variation order later on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses issues related to variations in construction works. After determining the scope of the original work, both express and implied, the book explores the power to make variations, the procedure for doing so, and the valuation of variations. It also examines the potential for recovering payment for additional work based on restitution, such as quantum meruit, under the Contracts Act 1950. The impact of variations on time obligations is analyzed, with chapters covering the prevention principle, extensions of time, liquidated damages, and contractor losses and expenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book provides an in-depth analysis, referencing local judicial decisions as well as those from other Commonwealth countries, including Singapore, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It also surveys key clauses from widely-used standard form contracts, offering valuable insights into ambiguous legal areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential read for architects, quantity surveyors, claims consultants, construction lawyers, developers, contractors, arbitrators, lecturers, and students studying construction law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sweet \u0026 Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47399108149405,"sku":"9786297700434","price":280.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7575\/1837\/files\/9786297700434.webp?v=1764843562","url":"https:\/\/mphonline.com\/products\/law-of-construction-variations","provider":"MPHOnline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
