The contractor’s obligations begin with the obligation to construct the works in accordance with the documents within the required time. This Chapter deals with the fundamental obligations and associated obligations as to workmanship, quality of materials, co-ordination and management of the site. Obligations can arise in tort as well as in contract and these concurrent obligations are examined at the end of this Chapter. Obligations as to time are dealt with in Chapter 13 and obligations as to insurance and bonds are dealt with in Chapter 16.
