Contract and risk. Where the standard form stops being standard.
What’s inside this one-page note:
The one sentence that makes the client’s design yours
Ground risk moved indirectly, through a report that is “for information only”
Time bars in fixed days, with loss of entitlement attached
Delay damages that attach to several milestones, so one slip pays several times
Precedence rewritten so the client’s documents outrank the standard
Plus where the mechanism hides in each market: Particular Conditions, Z clauses, the Schedule of Amendments, the AFD.111 list, and NS 8407. Written for contract managers and commercial leads. Patterns, not advice. The wording in your pack is what matters, and your contract advisers should see it.
