or indirectly responsible for the event causing the delay, has taken all practicable steps to avoid or minimise the

the Principal, provided that;
a)

the Subcontractor has complied with its obligations under Clause 6.3 of this Agreement;

b)

the Subcontractor has taken all steps to anticipate, minimise, mitigate or prevent the delay or the effect
of the delay; and

c)

the delay is beyond the reasonable control of the Subcontractor and is due to:
i

acts of prevention by the Builder, Principal or their agents;

iii

any act, default or omission by the Builder, its consultants or agents;

iv

a variation, provided that the Subcontractor has otherwise complied with Clause 7 of this

any extension of time to the Date for Practical Completion granted by the Builder shall be in writing and
signed by the Builders Project Manager.

f)

if some causes of delay fall within Clause 6.3.1 c) and some do not, the Subcontractor must make an
apportionment of the delay according to the respective causes of the delay. If delay caused by the

Subcontractor will not be entitled to an extension of time for that period of delay.

g)

the Subcontractor must provide any details and information to assist in the assessment of an extension
of time claim as and when requested by CICG.

The Builder may extend the Works Completion Date at any time even if the Subcontractor has not provided a
notice under this clause, but the Builder is under no obligation to exercise this discretion fairly or for the benefit
of the Subcontractor.

in the progress of the Works and shall do all that may be reasonably required by the Builder to expedite the completion
of the Works. The Subcontractor accepts the financial risks of all increased costs and all losses however incurred or
sustained in the execution of the Works, and which result directly or indirectly from any changes in sequence, delay or
disruption which occurs or arises in connection with the Works. The Subcontractor acknowledges and agrees that any
extension of time granted by the Builder shall be the Subcontractors sole remedy for any delay or delays including,
without limitation, any delay or delays caused by any breach of the Subcontract by the Builder (Delay). The
Subcontractor further acknowledges and agrees that the Subcontractor shall not be entitled to any increase in or
adjustment to the Subcontract Sum, or to any other monetary compensation or damages (including damages for breach
of Subcontract) losses, costs and/or expenses suffered or incurred directly or indirectly by the Subcontractor and/or its
secondary Subcontractors from a Delay, or any disruption caused by the Delay.
6.5

Compliance with Programme


The Subcontractor must comply with any programme requirements directed by the Builder including the preparation and
updating of basic programs for the performance of the Work. The Subcontractor must also cooperate with the Builder
and other Subcontractors on the Project to ensure that the Works are completed as soon as practicable, and in any
event by not later than the Works Completion Date.

6.6

Coordination
The Subcontractor shall ascertain the requirements of other Subcontractors to the Builder, and shall provide the Builder
with all necessary information to enable the Builder to coordinate the installation of the Work so as to minimise
interference with other work, and to secure the execution of the Project in the most efficient manner. The Subcontractor
shall cooperate with the Builder and all other Subcontractors and make all necessary arrangements with the Builder for
access to the Site.

6.7

Liquidated Damages
If the Works do not reach Completion by the Works Completion Date nominated in the Schedule or those dates issued
in the Construction Program as extended under the terms of this Subcontract, the Subcontractor shall pay or allow the
Builder by way of liquidated and ascertained damages the amount specified in Item 14) of the Schedule from the Works
Completion Date up to and including the date the Works reach Completion. The Builder may deduct any liquidated
damages accruing under this Clause from any moneys which may be or thereafter become payable to Subcontractor by
the Builder.
If a delay by the Subcontractor causes or contributes to the Builder becoming liable for liquidated damages under the
Head Contract, in addition to the Subcontractors liability under Clause 6.7, the Subcontractor shall also indemnify the
Builder for its liability for liquidated damages payable under the Head Contract (in the amount specified in Item 15) of
the Schedule) including any other loss or damage that the Builder has incurred the Subcontractor must pay to the
Builder its proportionate share of that loss or damage.
The subcontractor acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damages payable under Clause 6.7 are a genuine and
reasonable pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered by the Builder as a consequence of delay to the Project if the
Subcontractor fails to achieve a Milestone by the date required under the Construction Program or to bring the
Subcontract Works to Completion by the Date for Completion.

VARIATIONS
7.1

The Builder may at any time and from time to time vary the Works by notifying the Subcontractor that the Works are to
be varied and providing details of such variation ('Variation Notification'). A Variation Notification under this clause will
expressly state that it is a Variation Notification issued under this clause of the Subcontract and may include a drawing,
instruction or direction which demonstrates or explains the variation to the Works.

7.2

If the Subcontractor considers that any drawing, instruction or direction issued by the Builder which does not expressly
state that it is a Variation Notification issued under this clause of the Subcontract which will or may give rise to a
variation, it must notify the Builder in writing within five (5) days of issue of the same that the Subcontractor considers it
is a variation. If the Subcontractor fails to provide such notification but nevertheless proceeds to carry out the work
which is the subject of the drawing, instruction or variation, it is not entitled to any claim to the Subcontract Price or to
make any claim for payment under this Subcontract or to any extension of time to the Date for Practical Completion or
otherwise at law.

7.3

Where the Builder issues a Variation Notification, the following provisions apply:
7.3.1

the Subcontractor must carry out the variation (unless the Builder determines that another person will carry out
the work which is the subject of the variation, in which case, the Subcontractor will permit such other person to
carry out that work);

7.3.2

the Subcontractor must provide the Builder with an estimate of the cost and impact on the Date for Practical
Completion of such variation and obtain the Builders consent in writing to the estimate prior to proceeding with
the variation, unless the variation works are of an urgent nature, in which case the Builder may instruct the
Subcontractor to proceed immediately. If the Builder issues such an instruction, the Subcontractor must provide
the Builder with details of the impact of the variation on the cost and Date for Practical Completion as soon as

possible thereafter;

Subcontractor, and absent agreement between them within such period as the Builder may allow, as
determined by the Builder applying reasonable rates;

the Subcontract Price will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the additional cost or savings of

their complete satisfaction) prior to the release of the final progress claim payment or release of Security (Cash

9.4
