4.3 Progress Claim Reference Dates

Critical
Initial AI Analysis

This clause does not align with the Security of Payment Act (SOPA). Payment terms exceed the statutory maximum of 20 business days, exposing the business to severe cash flow delays and statutory non-compliance.

Win-Win Suggestion

We propose amending this clause to align with the SOPA maximum of 20 business days to ensure statutory payment rights are maintained, while preserving standard processing times.

Hard Amendment Suggestion

Require deletion of the '35 days' term and replacement with '20 business days' as per SOPA. The current term is non-compliant and represents a significant cash flow risk. Non-negotiable.

34.7 Liquidated damages

If WUS does not reach practical completion by the date for practical completion, the Subcontractor shall be indebted to the Main Contractor for liquidated damages at the rate stated in Item 27(a) for every day after the date for practical completion to and including the earliest of the date of practical completion or termination...

SUBCONTRACTOR - ROUND 1
To ensure commercial certainty for both parties, we propose capping our total liability for liquidated damages at 10% of the Subcontract Sum.
BUILDER - ROUND 1
We can agree to introduce a cap, but 10% leaves us overly exposed. We are willing to compromise with a cap set at 20% to better align with our upstream risk.
Subcontractor - Round 2High

The Builder has rejected our proposed 10% cap and countered with 20%. While this is an improvement from unlimited liability, it is double the industry standard and significantly exceeds our company policy target of 5%. This remains a high-risk exposure.

Use AI Suggestion

We appreciate your willingness to introduce a cap. However, a 20% cap is commercially unviable. Our corporate governance mandates a maximum exposure of 5% on a project of this scale, which aligns with the market rate for a subcontract of this value. We can accept a 5% cap as a final position.

Latent Conditions

Don't foot the bill for what's hidden underground.

Unknown ground conditions and contaminated materials can destroy project margins before the concrete is even poured. BTP ensures latent conditions are strictly excluded from your contract, protecting you from unquantifiable ground risk.
