articles provided by the CONTRACTOR for the execution of the WORK are
unsound or of a quality inferior to that contracted for, or otherwise not in
accordance with the CONTRACT, the CONTRACTOR, shall, on demand in
writing from the Consultant / OWNER specifying the WORK or materials or
articles complained of, not withstanding that, the same may have been
inadvertently passed, certified and paid for , forthwith rectify the materials so
specified and provide other proper and suitable articles or materials at his
own charge and cost. In the event of CONTRACTOR ‟s failing to do so, no
payments shall be made for the same till defects are rectified as per
instructions of the Consultant or OWNER, and in case where rectification or

then the measurement made by the CONSULTANT / Project manger / or
OWNER or approved by him shall be taken to be correct measurement of the
concerned part of the WORK. For measuring of such permanent WORK
which is to be determined by records and drawings the CONTRACTOR must
prepare the pertinent settlement of account documents monthly. Field
measurements are to be prepared in triplicate at the spot out of which one
copy counter signed by CONSULTANT/ Project Manager and/or OWNER will
