Price variation clauses (also referred to as “fluctuations” or “price adjustments” or other similar terms depending on the form of contract) are a highly talked about topic in the construction industry currently, with the industry experiencing a period of prolonged instability concerning material costs.
Historically, for shorter-term contracts, contractors took the risk of material costs in contracts, making allowances in their prices for fluctuations. However, with the spikes experienced in the past few years, contractors have become less willing to take on this risk, or when they do, protect themselves by making significantly larger allowances.
On the other side of the coin, employers are more willing to agree to these clauses either because they are not willing to agree to pay the allowances made by contractors or believe that what goes up, must come down and so there is likely to be a market correction soon.
This ‘price variation clauses’ webinar will discuss common forms (indices-based and invoice-based) and the evidence required to perform the calculations to determine the amounts due.
Join this webinar to learn how common price variation clauses work.
