Construction Contracts: Questions and Answers – Episode 23: Termination

In this episode, we tackle the complex and often contentious process of terminating a construction contract. Termination can be initiated by either the contractor or the client, depending on various factors such as persistent non-performance, insolvency, or failure to adhere to critical terms. We explore the different grounds for termination specified in standard forms of construction contracts, including wrongful termination and the significant repercussions it can entail. This episode also examines the procedural requirements for a valid termination, such as providing appropriate notice, documenting breaches, and following contract stipulations precisely. We discuss the potential financial and legal outcomes of termination, including claims for damages, recovery of costs, and impacts on project timelines. Understanding the termination process is crucial to minimizing risks and protecting contractual rights when disputes cannot be resolved.
