What was the contract used?
NZS 3910:2013
What was the error you identified?
Contractor had claimed 100% for scaffolding on the payment claim
Why was this an error?
I had carried out a site survey about 2 days prior, and noted the progress made and took photographs. There was about 50% of scaffolding up.
What did you do?
I advised both the contractor and the Principal of the overclaim on the scaffolding. This prompted the contractor to revise and re-issue the claim with a reduction in the percentage claimed for the scaffold.
I then submitted my assessment to the ETTC for review.
