A note on these scenarios
What you can take from these.
These are representative scenarios, built from real contractor-side commercial issues and combined and anonymised to protect client confidentiality. They are not accounts of a single identifiable project, and the figures are indicative — used to show how the commercial mechanics play out under FIDIC and NEC, not to report a specific result.
Confidentiality is preserved by design: we do not name clients or projects publicly, and much contractor-side commercial work cannot be published at all. If you are facing a situation like one of these, a confidential 30-minute conversation is the right next step.
