ABSTRACT
The information the contractor may prepare to construct the work may be different from the information that the employer would like to receive. As regards timing, the information is to be provided ‘as and when necessary from time to time in accordance with the Design Submission Procedure’, and ‘the Contractor shall not commence any work to which such a document relates before that procedure has been complied with’. The employer may instruct the contractor to open up completed work for inspection, or arrange for testing of any of the work or materials, fixed or unfixed. The employer also has the power to issue PTP issued instructions requiring a change as are reasonably necessary as a consequence of an instruction in regard to defective work. The employer must have given written notice to the contractor requiring compliance with the instruction, and seven days must have elapsed after the contractor’s receipt of the notice before the employer may bring in others.
