Seminar on Variations, International Construction Contracts and Dispute Resolution Organized by the Young Constructors’ Forum in collaboration with National Construction. One of the common features of construction contracts is that the design of the work contracted for, may require variations as the work proceeds. The magnitude of variations tends to be greater in engineering works, reflecting the greater element of the unknown in such operations and of course the contractor is the first party to be affected by such changes to the contract.
