Notes [1] These non time related oncosts and services are incurred as lump sums during the contract and, therefore, only 50% of such costs are taken for investment purposes [2] This period depends on the terms of payment set out in the contract. [3] Retention is deducted as full retention is taken into account later. [4] Average retention will depend on the retention condition set out in the contract, account any partial completion dates. [5] The contractor assesses here any financial advantage he may obtain by varying his items.
