[All CCP Questions]

When using a fixed-price./lump-sum contract, which of the following; situations can a payment be made for the adjustment of fluctuations in the cost of of construction resources?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In a fixed-price/lump-sum contract, the agreed price is fixed and generally not subject to adjustment based on fluctuations in costs, unless explicitly stated in the contract terms. Payment for adjustments in construction costs due to fluctuations in resource prices or delays is typically not allowed unless there is a specific provision for such adjustments, which is rare in fixed-price contracts. Therefore, the correct answer is C. In no situation.

I'll take 'Unexpected Cost Overruns' for $500, Alex. Option D is the clear winner here.

I agree with Mindy. Fluctuations in the cost of construction resources are often unpredictable, and the contract should have a provision to adjust for those changes.

Option D seems like the most reasonable choice. Changes in resource costs beyond the control of either party should be accounted for in a fixed-price contract.

Hmm, that's a good point. But what about option D? Changes in cost of resources beyond anyone's control could also be a valid reason for adjustment.

I disagree, I believe the answer is B. It makes sense to adjust for varied works carried out beyond the original date of completion.

I think the answer is A, because the contractor proposed the methodology at tender stage.
