A PC amount of 2000.00 was allowed for in the original BOQ for signage. The final amount when the project was completed was 50000.00. The project manager{PM} did not give the contractor the signage information at the site handover but almost at the end of the contract and only a contact person at the clients office who will supply us with the relevant information. The contractor then had to contact the client get the signage information , supply the drafts, getting the drafts approved by the client supplying a new quote to the QS waiting for the compensation event ,order and install. A early warning was send to the PM. The project manager requested a revised program during this process that i could not give him because we did not have all the information regarding the signage on hand to give a proper time frame on our program. He started implementing penalties as we moved over our completion date. Take note one other item on the project {fencing }was also completed late but finished together with the signage. My claim for additional time was rejected due to the PM implementing that the value for the signage does not reflect the time claimed for in conjunction with the project value. my claim for additional time was based on when the signage information was received until the signage was complete. MY QUESTIONS: 1 Can i ask additional money for the PM work that i had to do to obtain the relevant information to do my work? 2. Can you reject a claim for additional time due to the value of an item?. 3. What is the contractors rights according to ncc3 if a PC amount is allowed for in the original scope of works expands by 2500%. ? 4. What is the contractors rights according to ncc3 if he does not receive all the relevant information of an pc amount on site handover that he could not indicate on his original program?
