Template section 1: Nowadays, many construction projects are priced using bill of quantities, and some of the items listed under the measures category are not clearly defined, which causes difficulties in subsequent settlement. The template solution addresses this issue. Therefore, the visas added through the template are particularly important; if they aren’t specified, it’s very likely that your application will be rejected outright. Although you can appeal, it’s always better to take precautions in advance. 2. The extra formwork required due to rushing the work – for this, a rush fee is legitimately requested, but in reality no one asked for it. It depends on the statutory construction period or the period specified in the bid; now the client wants an acceleration in the timeline, which results in the need for additional sets of formwork. The calculations involved are quite complex, so it is recommended to consult relevant publications to gain a better understanding. This also serves as a reminder for us: 1) When bidding, if the client does not specify a timeline or provides insufficient details, we can try to delay the work as much as possible in order to obtain claims that are favorable to us. 2) Whenever there are deadline requirements during construction, calculate first whether it is sufficient for obtaining a visa; it’s best to develop such a habit. 3) During construction, the client has no right to add clauses specifying dates by which the roof must be completed or imposing fines for each day of delay; any such requests must be included in the contract, and adding such requirements incurs a fee.
