Week 10 Topic: How do you manage contract clauses and project unknowns?

This week focuses on the often hidden risks in your contract and information base—the kind that don’t make noise until they cost time or money. From unlimited liability and fitness-for-purpose obligations to missing geotech data or outdated asbestos reports, these are the risks that quietly shape every Defence project.

Share your experiences. You might consider:
– Have you ever had to negotiate out (or price in) a contract clause you weren’t comfortable with?
– How do you assess whether project information is reliable enough to proceed?
– Have you worked on a project where missing data caused significant variations or redesign?
– What’s your approach to provisional sums, assumptions, or contingency planning when scoping early-stage projects?
– Do you use FeeMaster, benchmarking, or calibrated questions to guide your planning or pricing?

Jump in and let others know what’s worked (or not) when dealing with contract risk and information uncertainty.
