 Lump sums to cover groups of items are undesirable and the Contractor shall, on the request of the Contract 
Administrator or Quantity Surveyors, submit a detailed breakdown of any lump sums.
 The Contractor shall ensure that the preliminary items are broken down when submitting his priced Schedules of 
Works for checking.
 If any item is left unpriced the cost of performing the work described in the item not priced shall be deemed to 
have been included in the rates of the remaining items.
 Except when authorised by the Contract Administrator or the Quantity Surveyors no alteration, erasure or addition 
is to be made in the text and conditions of these Schedules of Works and should any alterations, amendments, notes 
or conditions be made, it will not be recognised, but the reading of these Schedules of Works as prepared by the 
Quantity Surveyors will be adhered to.
 Should there be any doubt or obscurity as to the meaning of any item in these Schedules of Works the Contractor 
is to set forth the particulars of such doubt in writing before sending in his tender in order that such doubt or 
obscurity may be removed, for should any misunderstanding arise during the progress of the works the decision 
of the Contract Administrator as to the true intent and meaning of any dimension, clause, word or sentence, shall 
be conclusive and binding.
 Should the Contractor arrive at his tender figure by means of an adjustment on the General Summary page, 
then notwithstanding the way in which this figure has been arrived at, or where not shown as a percentage, the 
figure will be converted to a percentage and applied to all rates and prices excluding the Preliminaries, 
Provisional Sums, Contingencies and Dayworks.
