Technical Services Information Sheet

PRODUCTIVITY & DISRUPTION CLAIMS 

Synopsis: Productivity relates to the rate at which work is carried out. A contractor typically tenders for work on the basis of outputs it expects to achieve e.g. how much electrical cable can be pulled per hour or how much usage an excavator will have per hour / day. If these outputs are achieved or bettered the Contractor will make money, if the outputs are not achieved, it will lose money.
