Hi,
My collegue & myself are working on a contract where we have been applying for interim payment every month.
We are approaching the completion of the project soon so we are planning ahead. These questions were asked & I would appreciate advise from all the experience/knowlegible PP members.
We always submit an application with a detail qty to the items in the BoQ & others items which we could not find in BoQ, we used similar rate or prorata.
The QS always had so far pay most and their system does not give a detail of his valuation but just a list of comment on items he deducted.
1) Could he adjust at FA & disagree to pay majority & claim not caried out?
2) When does FA start?
3) If Completion say is on 26/02/07, are we entitle to submit an interim application on 18/02/07?
4) How long we are allow to process the FA submission?
5) If he do not pay nor give notice on our interim application, after 2 months, could we assume that he agreed the whole and pay the whole?
6) How much detail he need to give on interim valuation?
7) If oneor two items tha is agreed in the early stage of the project, can he not agree at FA?
8) Business or professional ethic comes first? What can we do with those who practice unprofessionally?
