Navigating the Use of Provisional Sums in Construction Contracts (EP 117)
In the studio today, we have Richard Brackstone, CEO of RB Management and Consulting Ltd. Richard is a QS turned consultant who’s unique consultancy has an innovative approach providing specialist, executive-level support to companies in construction with a focus on Risk Management and Commercial Best Practices.
In this focused episode on Provisional Sums, Richard explains what Provisional Sums are, how they are different from PC sums and how to use both defined and undefined provisional sums. Richard explains best practices and how many contractors and subcontractors often fall down when using Provisional Sums.
Here is a link to Richard’s paper and this is a must-listen for all commercially minded construction professionals.
