Disturbance Allowance Sample Clauses
A Disturbance Allowance clause provides compensation or additional time to a contractor or worker for disruptions that affect their productivity or workflow. In practice, this clause typically applies when external factors—such as site congestion, changes in work sequence, or interference from other trades—cause delays or inefficiencies beyond the contractor’s control. Its core function is to ensure fairness by recognizing and addressing the impact of unforeseen disturbances, thereby helping to allocate risk and prevent disputes over lost time or increased costs.
