Each contract has its own unique Particular Conditions of Contract drafted to include the
Risk Distribution Intended by the Drafter of the Contract Documents. This program will
consider the way to modify obligations of parties under the contract and the ways not to do
it. Unless the contract is drafted unambiguously each party to the Contract will view the
interpretation in a way favorable to its own position, when, parties disagree, solutions are
delayed, cost of solution increases, progress is disrupted, and everyone suffers. To prevent
these problems we emphasize Win-Win solutions to the above situations.
