Section 7— Title

Clause 71.1

Marking of Equipment

Purpose

The Contractor marks Equipment brought on to the Site as the property of the Contractor. Marked Equipment is not removed without the PM's permission.

Practical Application

Marking distinguishes Contractor-owned Equipment from Employer-owned materials. The PM may inspect markings to verify ownership.

Common Pitfalls

Unmarked Equipment may be presumed to belong to the Employer in the event of a dispute or insolvency. Maintain a register of all Equipment on Site.
