We have been noticing that recently Job Specifications are containing two new Clauses.
1.Errors and Omissions in drawings or specifications are the responsibility of the “contractor” and are to be covered in the Tender Price.
2.It is the contractors’ responsibility to submit drawings for the approval of the Electrical Authority and include the costs in the tender. (The drawings have an engineers stamp on them)
I thought that the design and review of drawings and specifications is what they were paid for?
How do you make allowances for drawing review if you have no idea how long it takes to review the drawings. (There is no fixed rate.ie. $ per drawing reviewed)
