“Variation and design”

In this paper written for the University of Vienna, Nicholas Gould outlines the distinction between lump sum contracts, re measurement and ascertaining the price based on a quantum meruit. It then considers how the work and price might be varied. Design obligation can make it more difficult to ascertain if a change has occurred as a development of the design might not amount to a change in the contractual performance obligations.
