Although a change of cardinal is considered an essential breach, it may be difficult to know in advance whether an amendment or accumulation of amendments is significant enough that the treaty no longer involves the same work. Therefore, it is risky to rely on the doctrine of cardinal change by a contractor, because cardinal modifications are poorly defined. If you have questions about cardinal changes, it is advisable to discuss the problem with your architect, engineer and/or lawyer in order to preserve your rights and ensure the payment of your work. As has already been said, almost all construction projects are being added to their original plan. Although it is so easy to change a timeline due to unexpected bad weather conditions. However, a change of cardinal is defined as a change in which “the purpose of the original agreement was thwarted or made impossible by the magnitude of the requested amendment.” Cardinal amendments may leave a contractor unprotected and in a dangerous financial situation because he or she is responsible for performing an important task that was not part of the original agreement without ensuring that they will be compensated. However, in this situation, there is special relief for contractors. The doctrine of cardinal revision limits the possibility of making substantial changes to the scope of a project after the contract has been signed.

This doctrine prevents a contractor or subcontractor from carrying out work that was not originally negotiated. Determine whether this is a change of cardinal or lose your right to restorationCardinal changes can lead to construction disputes and claims. It is important to address issues that can change quickly and effectively.
