Dear all,
Seems quite topical at the moment but I was wondering what sort of percentage of jobs actually commence without having a contract in place? I've never been involved in a job that hasn't had the award letter in place (and therefore a contract) before commencement, but a few that didn't have the formal agreement executed. To allow contractors to start without at least an award letter in place has to be bordering on negligence, or at least madness! Why would a contractor be motivated to knuckle down and agree a few outstanding matters once his feet are under the table and he has commenced work on site - he has the client over a barrel and who let him get to that position?
Would be interesting to see what people think on this, quite how many projects are without an award letter, and please don't refer to (what I think are utterly useless) letters of intent as we've had some banter on that before!
