Details of Changes in the Employers Requirements

General explanation of Changes to internal layouts. The internal layout designs as set out in the contract comprised that depicted on drawings DB324/2e and DB324/3e, subject to further modification as would have been necessary to accommodate the fire fighting staircase and smo e lobby provisions indicated in the !ontractor"s #roposals$ The !ontractor also needed to detail the applicable compartments for the e%uipment intended to be accommodated within the &ower 'round (loor$ )ccordingly, some redesigning would have necessary and it was clearly the responsibility of the !ontractor to carry out such$ *owever, given that the !ontractor"s #roposals were based on an enlarged building footprint and that further space was available due to the omission of the &ift motor +oom, the redesigning cannot be regarded as a particularly demanding or time consuming process$ *ence, the !ontractor had been entitled to ma e provision for being in the position to agree the ,fro-en" internal layout designs and to, thereupon, commence design development within a wee of ta ing possession of the site$ The issue of drawing DB324/2g, immediately prior to the Date for #ossession, entirely altered the above.indicated situation$ /t should first be noted that whereas revision ,e" had shown the layout of the 'round (loor and 0pper 'round (loor, revision ,g" showed the layout of the 'round (loor and &ower 'round (loor$ But, it also substantially varied the layout of the 'round (loor 1including removing all details of the &ounge and 'reat +oom2 and introduced rooms at &ower 'round (loor level$ 3urprisingly, drawing DB324/2g disregarded the s etches contained in the !ontractor"s #roposals in respect of the e4tended building footprint, the fire fighting and smo e lobby arrangements to !ores 5 and 3 and the omission of the store to !ore 5$ *owever, conversely, it utili-ed the space on the 'round (loor provided by the omission of the lift motor room$ )ccordingly, the issue of this drawing had, at a stro e, confused what had been a fairly straightforward issue$ (urthermore, it introduced matters that needed to be resolved before the design could be ,fro-en" and, obviously, delayed commencement of the normal design development processes$ 3oon after the Date of #ossession, it became evident that the !ontractor would not be afforded the dimensions of the site as ascertained from the ,approved boundary" shown on the drawings DB/324/2e$ 6/ncidentally, the ,approved

boundary" as shown on drawing DB324/2e was identical to that on drawing DB/3242g$7$ /n essence, the width of the &ocal )uthority"s paving, e4ternal to the site, had been increased along the northern and eastern boundaries and occupied areas that should have formed part of the site, i$e$ within the ,approved boundary"$ This meant that there was insufficient space to construct the eastern fire fighting staircase and smo e lobbies as shown in the !ontractor"s #roposals$ 8or was it possible to achieve the precise building footprint, as depicted in the drawings contained in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements$ /n addition, the !ontractor had to contend with the re%uirements of drawing DB324/2g$ The comple4ities of accommodating the re%uired number of bedrooms, etc$ within a smaller building footprint cannot be understated$ *owever, the difficulties were compounded because the potential for alteration to the &ocal )uthority"s paving widths needed to be e4plored and, until that issue was resolved, the actual e4tent of the reduction to the footprint could not be defined$ :oreover, the internal layout of the building as per drawing DB324/3e had generally already been designed to the limits of the *oliday /nn 94press Technical :anual/#rototype /nformation 1as also included in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements2 and, therefore, there was limited scope for modification in that respect$ 8evertheless, the !ontractor prepared schemes and options for the 9mployer"s consideration$ ;ne of these proposed to reduce the number of guest rooms, but such was unacceptable to the 9mployer$ )nother, included reduction to corridor widths which the 9mployer initially rejected, but later relented$ /t was apparent that the 9mployer regarded the problems of achieving a defined boundary/ final building footprint and the redesigning of the internal layouts to be matters for the !ontractor to resolve$ 9vidently, the 9mployer did not see need to ta e responsibility himself for negotiating any modification to the pavement widths with the &ocal )uthority or to give the !ontractor any instructions in connection with the redesign of the <or s$ )ccordingly, in order to fulfil his primary obligation to complete the design and to progress and complete the <or s, the !ontractor was compelled to negotiate directly with the &ondon Borough of *ac ney to achieve a wor able solution with regard to the interfaces between the proposed building and surrounding pavements$ The final building footprint, as first agreed with the !ouncil and then accepted by the 9mployer, was set out on the !ontractor"s =>>> revision D$ 63ee 9)!/ 8o$ 37$ The solution involved a reduction in the overall length of the building from that indicated in the !ontractor"s #roposals, a reduction in the width of the building towards the east end of the site, a reduction in the overall plan dimensions of the east turrets and a series of projections or ,pinch points" into the paving areas abutting the northern building line$

*aving resolved the footprint issue, the !ontractor was able to set about the presentation of construction drawings showing redesigned internal layouts$ /n order to mitigate delay, the preparation thereof had been progressed, at his own ris , ahead of and concurrent with the negotiations with the &ocal )uthority$ *is proposals incorporated a rearrangement of the upper floors by stac ing li e bedroom types above each other and the reduction of corridor widths$ /n addition, the proposed layouts accommodated the fire fighting staircases and smo e lobbies and redesigned the ,!ore 2 staircase" to overcome the infeasible arrangement shown on drawing DB324/2e$ The 9mployer has issued no formal instructions in any of these respects$ )s the problem of the ,!ore 2" staircase had not been recogni-ed by either the 9mployer or the !ontractor prior to the Date for #ossession, the necessary modifications, including its effect on the respective floor plan layouts, should be dealt with as a ,!hange"$ !lause 2$4$5 of the !onditions applies$ <ith regard to the layouts of the 'round (loor and &ower 'round (loor, the !ontractor"s drawing =>>5 revision B showed the provision of compartments for plant and e%uipment at basement level$ This drawing also accommodated the additional re%uirements of drawing DB324/2g, together with modifications thereto as re%uested by the 9mployer$ These involved the relocation of the &inen 3tore from 'round (loor to &ower 'round (loor level, the repositioning of the 3taff Toilets, the creation and repositioning of a <or shop in lieu of a +epair/3tores area, the creation of a 3taff !ommon +oom, the provision of a ramped access from the &ower 'round (loor to the e4ternal street level, the repositioning of the :ale, (emale and Disabled Toilets and the repositioning of the !addy 3tore area$ /t should be noted that layout drawing =>>5 revision B was subse%uently subject to further and ongoing modification as a conse%uence of further instructions, decisions and information from the 9mployer$ These modifications are shown on drawings =>>5 revisions ! to 3 inclusive$ /n some cases these modifications were inevitable$ (or e4ample, given that drawing DB324/2g had omitted the layout of the ,(it ;ut" area, such could only be reintroduced when the 9mployer made his re%uirements nown with regard to the e4penditure of the applicable #rovisional 3um$ *owever, it most cases, the revisions were brought about by one or other of the aforementioned initial methods used by the 9mployer to procure ,!hanges"$ )ttention is drawn to the !ontractor"s ,3chedules of !hanges", as contained in the )ppendi4 of this submission$ These trac the introduction of the 9mployer"s re%uired modifications to the layouts of the building throughout the redesign and design development processes$ /t is suffice to confirm that following the issue of drawing =>>5 revision B, further modifications were re%uired by the 9mployer and these instructions themselves e4tended beyond the Date for !ompletion$ The modifications

necessitated ongoing change to and updating of previous construction drawings$ /n the process, the arrangement of the &ower 'round (loor and 'round floor changed entirely from that shown on drawing DB324/2g and that, in itself, had significantly changed the layout of the 'round (loor from that agreed under the contract$ /t is submitted that all of the redesigning underta en by the !ontractor is in its own right a ,!hange in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements"$ The design is regarded as having been ,fro-en" on 22nd 3eptember 5??@ i$e$ the date upon which The Design Buro first responded formally to the !ontractor"s redesign proposals$ )t that stage, as an e4ample, drawing =>>5 revision ( had been issued$ This ,free-e" date is important in that it signifies the point at which the !ontractor should have been able to concentrate on coordinating and detailing the individual elements of the structure without encumbrance of ,!hanges"$ This, in fact, proved not to be the case and ,!hanges" had to be accommodated on an ongoing basis until completion of the <or s$ /t is further submitted that where changes in the layout of the &ower 'round (loor and 'round (loor caused previously completed construction drawings to be modified, the evaluation of the redesigning should include for the abortive designs previously issued$ (urther ,!hanges" were also re%uired with regard to the upper floors, including the 0pper 'round (loor$ /n the main these were introduced by drawings issued by The Design Buro and are detailed later in this submission$ )s stated in the previous section of this submission, the !ontractor had allowed for traditional bathrooms 1as opposed to pods2 to the eastern turrets and, elsewhere, the !ontractor"s #roposals had defined that pods would ,be utilised where possible"$ )s a conse%uence of the revised building footprint and the modification of the ,!ore 2" staircase, it was necessary for the !ontractor to install traditional bathrooms in lieu of pods in the central turret rooms$ This must in itself be regarded as a ,!hange" in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements$ )s stated previously, a significant part of the 'round (loor comprised the ,(it ;ut" area for which a #rovisional 3um had been allowed within the !ontract 3um with regard to its finishes and joinery$ The 9mployer engaged Darby )ssociates to produce the applicable interior designs$ )ny drawings produced by the interior designer and subse%uently issued to the !ontractor must be regarded as ,!hanges in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements"$ That these designs were provided later than was necessary is dealt with later in this submission$ The 9mployer"s +e%uirements do not precisely define term ,finishes" as used in connection with the ,(it ;ut" wor s and some debate too place in this respect during the currency of the contract$ The !ontractor submits that he is entitled to rely on the generic meaning as, indeed, he applied within the !ontractor"s

#roposals with regard to all areas other than those comprising the ,(it ;ut" wor s$ )ccordingly, the !ontractor maintains that he made no separate allowance within the !ontract 3um for any of the below.listed elements, deeming them to be covered by the #rovisional 3umA (loor finishesA !arpets$ !eramic tiling$ <all finishesA Decorations$ !eiling finishesA 3uspended ceilings$ That the interior designer showed the foregoing items on his drawings is ta en as evidence that the !ontractor was not e4pected to ma e separate provision for such, despite the 9mployer"s )gent"s assertions to the contrary$ /n this respect, references within the !ontractor"s #roposals, to #rime !ost 3ums for wall, floor and ceiling finishes obviously relate to all locations other than the ,(it ;ut" area$ &i ewise, with regard to suspended ceilings, references in the !ontractor"s #roposals to ,public areas and meeting rooms" relate to those situated outside the ,(it ;ut" area$ /t is further submitted that the 9mployer"s +e%uirements do not precisely define the area of the ,(it ;ut" wor s$ The !ontract 3um )nalysis specifies that the #rovisional 3um applies to ,+eception, 9ntrance (oyer, +estaurant 1and2 :eeting +ooms"$ /t has been previously identified that differing terminology is used in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements to describe the same area i$e$ 'reat +oom 1+estaurant2$ )lso references are made to areas that clearly form part the ,(it ;ut" wor s that are not specifically identified under the #rovisional 3um i$e$ Bar and &ounge$ :oreover, whereas the #rovisional 3um was intended to apply to a large part of the 'round (loor, confusion is generated because there were also meeting rooms on the upper floors$ ;n the other hand, one of the meeting rooms on the 'round (loor is referred to as the 3yndicate +oom$ (or the avoidance of doubt, the !ontractor hereby sets out that he regards the #rovisional 3um to apply to the whole of the 'round (loor e4cept the Bac of *ouse areas, toilets and public corridors$ !onversely, he does not believe the meeting rooms on the upper floors to have ever been intended to form part of the ,(it ;ut" area$ This latter point is also born out by the fact that Darby )ssociates did not prepare drawings in respect thereof$ 6By others B see 3ection 2 of the 'eneral +e%uirements and #reliminaries7$

/rrespective of his failure to issue an instruction in writing, or that the !onditions do not e4pressly empower him to issue such an instruction, the 9mployer re%uired the !ontractor to obtain competitive tenders for the joinery wor s to the ,(it out" area$ These were to be based on Darby )ssociates" drawings$ /t is well understood that the 9mployer wished to ta e advantage of the lowest possible price for these wor s$ *owever, the imposition of a formal tender process within the confines of the contract period undermined the !ontractor"s control with regard to the !ompletion Date$ (or e4ample it denied the !ontractor the opportunity to ,save time" through direct negotiations with a specialist joinery firm$ 'iven that the !ontractor duly complied with the 9mployer"s instruction, it is submitted that it constitutes a ,!hange in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements" and should be valued as if it were a #rime !ost 3um i$e$ affording mar up for overheads, profit and attendance$ /n respect of the ,(it out" area and with regard to the joinery only, the drawings of Darby )ssociates were conceptual and, it was left to the !ontractor, through his specialist joinery sub.contractor, to complete those designs$ )ccordingly, notwithstanding that the specialist joinery sub.contractor carried out those designs, the aforementioned mar up should also ta e account of the !ontractor"s liabilities in connection therewith$ )lthough not entirely in eeping with the logic used above with regard to the ,(it out" area, it should be noted that Darby )ssociates" brief appears also to have included or was e4tended to include the internal design of the :ale, (emale and Disabled Toilets$ Cet these areas had been within the !ontractor"s direct responsibility under the contract$ )ccordingly, any drawings prepared by the interior designer with regard to these toilets and issued to the !ontractor must be regarded as ,!hanges in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements"$ General explanation of Changes associate su"#station. !ith the intro uction of the

General explanation of Changes to mechanical an electrical ser$ices. /t may be deduced that the !ontractor was intended to provide electrical and mechanical services throughout the building and that, insofar as it had been defined in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements or was capable of being inferred therefrom, the !ontract 3um included for power and lighting, water, gas and drainage supplies$ Therefore, the !ontractor made allowance within the !ontract 3um for such, provided he had some information upon which he could calculate a price$ This applied where it was reasonably apparent that services would be re%uired, even though precise details may not have been given in the 9mployer"s

General explanation of Changes to layout of Guest Rooms The layouts of the respective types of guest rooms were subject to clarification or amplification through drawings issued by The Design Buro during the currency of the <or s$ The Design Buro room layouts either amended those in the *oliday /nn 94press Technical :anual/#rototype /nformation or provided layouts where none had been given$ These set out the arrangement of furniture, fi4tures and e%uipment to be supplied by the 9mployer and, where applicable, fi4ed by the !ontractor$ 63ee 3chedule 5 of the 'eneral +e%uirements and #reliminaries and item 5$2= of the #articular #erformance 3pecification7$ These drawings constitute ,!hanges in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements" and their implications are set out in the ,3ummary of drawings and instructions issued by The Design Buro" as given later herein$ (urther ,!hanges" had to be incorporated and these are included in the ,3ummary of !ontractor"s confirmations of instruction"$ (or the avoidance of doubt it should be noted that guest room furniture, fi4tures and fittings were supplied by the 9mployer"s direct suppliers and !ontractor"s responsibilities in respect thereof are defined in item 2$2 of the 'eneral +e%uirements and #reliminaries$ The !ontractor had particular difficulties with ,!hanges" affecting the east and central turret rooms$

<ith regard to the east turret rooms it should be noted that their dimensions had been reduced from those derived from drawings DB324/2e and 3e as a conse%uence of the revised building footprint approved as per the !ontractor"s drawing no$ =>>> revision D 63ee 9)!/ 8o$ 37$ *ence the turrets had been constructed in accordance with those revised dimensions$ *owever, The Design Buro"s drawing of the east turret rooms failed to reflect those reduced dimensions$ :oreover, the !ontractor did not recogni-e the anomaly at the time of issue$ )lthough this is hardly surprising given that the drawings were not dimensioned and, although stated as drawn to scale, were issued in fa4 form only$ 0n nown to the !ontractor, The Design Buro drawings had also been used by the 9mployer to procure the furniture$ !onse%uently, some of the manufactured furniture would not fit the east turret bedrooms$ /t is evident that the 9mployer intends to rely on the third paragraph of item 5$2= of the #articular #erformance 3pecification to attribute blame on the !ontractor with regard to the incorrect si-e of furniture$ This states that he is re%uired to % ensure %that the room si&es%will allow for the integration of all such e'uipment#$ The e4act meaning of this is unclear$ The !ontractor could hardly amend the room si-es and had nothing at all to do with the supply of the furniture$ 8evertheless, item 5$2= would seem to imply some obligation on the !ontractor to reconcile the dimensions of the furniture against those of the room$ This is surely how the anomalies became apparent$ 63ee !ontractor"s fa4 to The Design Buro dated 5Fth December 5??G7$ Therefore, any further instructions necessary to facilitate the integration of the furniture within the room, that alter previous instructions, must constitute a ,!hange in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements$ *ence, drawing DB324/2>5 revision D was issued to the !ontractor on G th Eanuary 5???, closely followed by revision 9 on 55th Eanuary 5??? and the 9mployer"s )gent"s letter dated 2=th Eanuary directed the !ontractor to instruct the 9mployer"s furniture supplier to alter the goods he had manufactured$ The additional wor involved was confirmed by the !ontractor on !;/ 8o$ 3> on 5st (ebruary 5???$ <ith regard to the central turret rooms, it should be noted that they were assigned as :eeting +ooms in the 9mployer"s +e%uirements$ The Design Buro drawings changed them into :eeting/Bedrooms$ The layout of these rooms proved difficult to achieve because the 9mployer had left it to his furniture supplier to produce a detailed design for foldaway beds$ The 9mployer"s )gent had also insisted that the !ontractor should co.ordinate with the supplier with regard to the electrical arrangements and any non.standard situations in these rooms$ 63ee 9mployer" )gent"s letter dated 55th Eanuary 5???7$ :oreover, the 9mployer gave direct instructions modifying the layouts as confirmed on !;/"s nos$ 35, 32 and 34$ %ummaries of Changes in the Employers Requirements.

vanity unit was not necessary given a larger standard basin$ )s stated previously in this submission, pods could not be accommodated in the upper floor central turret meeting rooms and the !ontractor"s construction drawings showed traditional bathrooms in lieu, with a similar arrangement as that proposed for the east turrets$ )ccordingly, vanity units had li ewise been omitted$ /n this respect, the !ontractor had clearly allowed for corner vanity units within the !ontract 3um and, if the 9mployer re%uired standard ones, they could have been incorporated without any problem$ The Design Buro drawing DB324/2>5, including revision B and drawings DB324/2>2 including revisions 9 and ' corresponded with bathroom arrangements shown on the !ontractor"s drawings, albeit that 2>29 reversed the positions of the wash basin and w$c$ The Design Buro fa4 dated 35st 3eptember 5??G modified the bathroom layouts to the east and central guest rooms by re%uiring compliance with *oliday /nn <orldwide fa4ed options ) and B$ The re%uirements thereof reintroduced ,!orian" units and other adaptions$ 63ee also !;/ no$ 2F7$
