Why do we need a contract... don't we trust?
40

Why do we need a contract?
• Contracts provide a description of
responsibilities.
• Contracts bind parties to their duties.
• Contracts can establish a timeframe for duties.
• Contracts can secure payment.
• Contracts provide recourse when the
relationship weakens.
40

Contract v/s Trust
• Ensuring a well drawn contract is in place does
NOT create mistrust nor does it have to be
expensive, time consuming or complicated.
• Simply, it is the basis for TRUST: if all the
terms are written down in one place, there is
little room for misinterpretation.
31

Construction is all about contracts
• The contract is the single most important
part of a construction project. It spells
out in detail all the possible scenarios
that may be encountered on a project.
• The contract defines the responsibilities
for each participant and the rights and
obligations associated with the parties.
32

Construction is all about contracts
• It comes as no surprise that when there is a
problem, everybody refers to the contract to
see how to handle it. While everybody wants
a fair or concise contract, this does not always
happen.
33

Significance of a Written Contract
• A written contract usually supersedes all
previous agreements.
• A complete understanding of all the contract
conditions by both parties is essential.
• Once a written, signed contract is finalized the
law will attach full significance to it.
• The law requires that the contract must be
observed or the party breaching the contract
must pay any damages to other party.
34

Concepts of Contract Law
 It is important to understand that contract law differs from other
branches of law in most jurisdictions.
 Common Law generally establishes the rights and duties that the
law will enforce; however, Contract law regulates the relationships
between people who have agreed to do something mutually
beneficial.
 When disputes arise with contractual agreements, a court of law
will refer to any contract and associated documentation to
determine rights and/or obligations of any of the parties to a
contract.

Breach of Contract
 A breach of contract is a failure to fulfill the duties under
the contract terms. A contract can be breached in the
following ways:
− One party does not perform as he or she promised
− One party does something that makes it impossible for
the other party to perform the duties under the
contract
− One party makes it clear that he or she does not
intend to perform the contract duties

Contract Management
 Contract management is the process that enables parties
to a contract to meet their obligations in order to deliver
the objectives required from the contract.
 It also involves building a good working relationship
between the parties.
 It continues throughout the life of a contract and involves
managing proactively to anticipate future needs as well as
reacting to situations that arise.

Contract Management
 The central aim of contract management is to obtain the
services as agreed in the contract and achieve value for
money.
This means
− optimizing the efficiency, effectiveness and economy of
the service or relationship described by the contract,
− balancing costs against risks and actively managing the
relationship between the parties.
 Contract management also involve aiming for continuous
improvement in performance over the life of the contract.

Essentials
for
Good Contract Management

Essentials for good contract management
 Good preparation
An accurate assessment of needs helps create a clear
output-based specification. Effective evaluation
procedures and selection will ensure that the contract is
awarded to the right provider.
 Getting the right contract
The contract is the foundation for the relationship. It
should include aspects such as allocation of risk and
quality required as well as procedures for communication
and dispute resolution.

 People, skills and continuity
There must be people with the right management skills to manage
these relationships and at multiple levels in the organization. Clear
roles and responsibilities should be defined, and continuity of key
staff should be ensured as far as possible. A contract manager (or
contract management team) should be designated early on in the
procurement process.
 Proactivity
Good contract management is not reactive, but aims to anticipate
and respond to future needs.

 Service delivery management and contract administration
Effective governance will ensure that the customer gets what is
agreed, to the level of quality required. The performance under the
contract must be monitored to ensure smooth running of the
project.
 Relationship management
Mutual trust and understanding, openness, and excellent
communications are as important to the success of an arrangement
as the fulfilment of the formal contract terms and conditions.

 Knowledge
Those involved in managing the contract must understand the
project fully and know the contract documentation inside out. This
is essential if they are to understand the implications of problems
(or opportunities) over the life of the contract.
 Flexibility
Management of contracts usually requires some flexibility on both
sides and problems are bound to arise that could not be foreseen
when the contract was awarded.

Fundamentals of Contract
Administration
• A client or a contractor will want the contract
to be evidenced by a more formal document
signed by both parties. Such a document is
called a ‘formal instrument of agreement’.
• The contractor would have a right to be paid a
reasonable price for all work done.
• The success of contract administration
depends on an effective communication
between all the parties involved.

Administration for Principals
• to appoint suitable consultants
• to define project scope
• to set the key project
objectives of cost, time and
quality
• to assist in formulating a
project brief
• to select the most appropriate
method of project delivery
• to ensure accuracy and
completeness of tender
documentation
• to avoid making changes to
the design
• to pay the contractor strictly in
accordance with the contract
• to resolve issues as early as
possible
• To be able to defend against a
potential claim from the
contractor
• to award a contract to the
contractor on fair and
equitable conditions of
contract
52

Administration for Contractors
• to execute the project
strictly in accordance with
the contract conditions
• to award subcontracts on
fair and equitable
subcontract conditions
• to monitor and control
progress of subcontractors
• to minimize overall project
time, thus reducing site
overheads
• to allow sufficient time to
rearrange activities, acquire
additional resources
• to document the actual
progress compared with a
program to identify areas of
progress loss
• to take immediate action on
contractor-caused problems
and immediately advise the
client of other problems
• to manage extensions of
time and a prolongation of
overhead costs
53

Bilateral vs Unilateral contracts
• A bilateral contract is a promise for a promise;
if the offeree need only promise to perform,
the contract is bilateral
• A unilateral contract is a promise for an act; if
the offeree can accept only by complete
performance, the contract is unilateral
54

Contracts on the basis of formation
Express Contracts
• Contracts formed with the
words spoken or written, is
an express contract
Example
• A tells B on phone that he
wants to buy his car for PKR
1.0 million and B accepts
the offer on his phone, this
is an express contract
Implied Contracts:
• When the offer and
acceptance is made by acts
or conducts of the parties, it
is an implied contract
Example
• A coolie in uniform takes up
the luggage of B at railway
station and B allows him to
do so, then the law implies
that B will have to pay for
the services of A. This is an
implied contract.
55

Formal Contract
A formal contract is a
contract where the parties
have signed under seal,
while an informal contract is
one not under seal. A seal
can be any impression made
upon the document by the
parties to the contract.
Usually the contract is
formed by a greater
authority, such a
government, or corporation
Informal Contracts
An informal business
contract is an agreement
between two parties that
has the intent of a formal
contract without the seal of
a government agency or
witness. In other words, its a
mutually agreed upon
decision between two
parties not formally
documented by an agency
or witness
56

Valid Contract
An agreement enforceable by law when all the essential
features of a valid contract are present
Voidable Contract
A contract becomes voidable when the consent of one of
the parties to the contract is not free
Example
• A threatens to shoot B if he does not sell his bike to A. B agrees.
This contract is voidable at the option of B
Void Contract
A void contract is a contract that has no legal effect at all.
• “A contract which ceases to be enforceable by law becomes void.”
57

Executed Contract
– A contract is said to be executed contract when both the parties to a contract
have performed their obligations
– Example
• When a bookseller sells a book on cash payment, it is an executed
contract because both the parties have done what they were supposed to
do in a contract
Executory Contract
– When either both the parties to a contract have still to perform their
share of obligation, then it is executory contract.
– Example
• A buys a car from B for PKR 1.0 million. Now, A has made the
payment but B has not transferred the contract, it is an executory
contract as the parties have to meet the obligation
58

Attributes of a good construction
contract
1. Is there such a thing as
a “good” construction
contract?
2. Can a “good” contract
increase the likelihood
of project success?
3. What are the
attributes of a “good”
construction contract?
59

contract
• The answers to the first
two questions are “YES”!
• A fitting analogy is that a
“good” construction
contract is like a well-
constructed ship—it will get
you safely through rough
water.
• Conversely, a “bad”
construction contract is
analogous to a poorly
constructed ship—in rough
water, it is likely to capsize,
resulting in disaster.
60

contract
• Project Delivery: Many delivery systems are available
to the parties (EPC, D/B, Cost Plus, Reimbursable, etc.).
Great care must be taken to select the project delivery
system that is best designed to meet the parties’ and
the project’s expressed needs.
• Well Integrated: Taking shortcuts to save time and/or
money should be avoided. It is an investment that will
pay big dividends later if problems or disputes arise.
• Language: The clauses and provisions should be
written in language that can be easily understood by
someone unfamiliar with the project (such as an
arbitrator or judge).
61

contract
• Mechanically sound: All of the provisions, clauses,
definitions and terms should be consistent throughout
the document.
• Scope of the work: The description of the scope of
work be as fully developed as possible so that
opportunities for differing interpretations and costly
disputes over contract details are avoided.
• Potential Problems: A good contract should consider
and address the many obstacles that may arise
throughout the project and clearly define the method
by which problems will be resolved.
62

contract
• Risk Allocation: It fairly allocates risk to the party
who is best positioned to anticipate and control
it.
• Dispute Resolution: Considerations must include
choice of law, choice of venue, choice of language
(for international contracts), whether the dispute
will be subject to litigation or arbitration, and
which party gets to choose the forum.
• Followed at Project Level: The ultimate value of a
good construction contract lies in how well it is
understood and followed by the project teams.
63

you are going, you will end
up in doing something else
