Possibility to rise claims due to long lead items that affect the progress of the project

Hi Mamoon

If the Employer has asked for a bespoke piece of kit that only comes from one named supplier - say a lift or heavy dutu pump - then if that supplier does not deliver within the agreed time then your first claim is against the supplier with a fall back claim against the Employer.

The contract however will most likely place all the risk on the Contractor so you will have to go other legal rights to get redress which will not be easy.

Best regards

Hi

You can build a claim for long lead item based on the concrete grounds such as

1. Late submission of material submittal by the contractor
2. Design issues by client
3. Change instruction for specification issued by the client
