Will a Duty to Inspect the Site Adversely Affect a Differing Site Conditions Claim?

 

Insisting on a properly drafted differing site conditions clause reduces risk for contractors.

All contractors should carefully review differing site conditions, site inspection, and avoidance clauses in their contracts. They should attend pre-bid meetings, and review all information that is either provided or made available to them before submitting a bid, or they run the risk that they may be responsible for differing site conditions.
