Cost of Repeat Tests
The Project Manager assesses the cost incurred by the Client in repeating a test or inspection after a Defect is found. The Contractor pays the amount assessed. The Contractor's own cost of carrying out the repeat test is not included.
The Client's cost of repeat testing (e.g., Supervisor's time, additional materials, facility hire) is assessed by the PM and paid by the Contractor. The Contractor bears its own repeat testing costs separately.
The assessment covers only the Client's direct costs of the repeat test. If the repeat test causes programme delay, the delay may be a compensation event or may affect delay damages.
