Abstract
The Construction Industry Institute (CII) Contracts Task force engaged in this research with the principal objective - "to improve project cost effectiveness and participant relationships through a study of risk allocation in certain contract clauses." After further thought and examination, the Contracts Task Force narrowed the focus of the risk allocation study down to indemnity, consequential damage, differing conditions and delay clauses utilized in lump sum contracts.
