Regarding projects with a large nominated sub contract content, these can often be turned to a contractors advantageit all depends in what has been agreed and priced in the contract.
If items such as provision of support trades are not included in the price, then the hiring of scaffold / scaffolders, cranages, accomodation, transport, labour to assist etc etc, which can be very beneficial to the contractor. In addition if the Nominated part of the work is a disaster, i.e. massive increase in scope, faulting nominated contractors then possible claims can result. Its all in the words!!
A fixed price is usually for an identifed specification and identified set of drawings. Any changes should normally be part of a contract variation. There again it all depends on what is written into the contract.
