ABIC SW 2018 H NSW - Monthly Progress Payments + Force Majeure Special Conditions
Monthly progress payments combined with force majeure cover for events outside the control of either party.
This option layers a force majeure regime on top of the monthly progress payment amendment for ABIC SW 2018 H NSW contracts. It addresses the reality that construction programs are exposed to events no party can control - natural disasters, pandemics, war, and government action - and gives the contract a clear, agreed mechanism for dealing with them.
Rather than leaving delay risk to be argued after the fact, the Special Conditions suspend affected obligations while a qualifying event continues and give either party a defined exit if the disruption runs on. The result is a monthly-payment ABIC SW 2018 H contract with a practical, pre-agreed answer to force majeure.

Common questions
What counts as a force majeure event under these conditions?
The Special Conditions address delay events beyond the control of the parties (including natural disasters, pandemics, war, and acts of government), suspending affected obligations while the event continues.
What happens if a force majeure delay drags on?
Either party may bring the contract to an end after sixty continuous days of qualifying delay, so neither side is locked into an indefinitely stalled project.
Does it still include the monthly progress payment change?
Yes. This option includes the full monthly progress payment regime and adds the force majeure provisions on top, so you get both protections in a single set of Special Conditions.
