Loose scope in design-build contracts breeds claims

From SCA Academy Campus, Riyadh

The contractor claimed SAR 14M for requirements added after concept design: extra e-test halls and trainers’ offices.

Recommendation: Freeze the building’s functional programme with the sector that will use it before the proposal goes to committee.

Confirm the land before approving the project

From Wadi Al-Dawasir Vocational Qualification Centre

The project was approved before the land was handed over by the municipality, and stopped after design award.

Recommendation: Do not pass a construction request to committee without a deed or final allocation letter.
