Accepted risks
- risk factors which, in the course of a building contract, are the responsibility of
the
client rather than the
contractor, for example, these could include unforseen problems relating
to the structure of the
building which is the subject of the
contract, or to problems which could
arise through the actions of surrounding owners. They are particularly relevant to contracts involving
existing buildings and therefore to all manner of
conservation work.
