Argues that the provisions as to terminal float in NEC3 encourage collaborative working and transparency, in that whilst a contractor is obliged to disclose the float in its programme, it is entitled to preserve it when changes are made to the completion date.

Also considers ownership of the float, arguing that the Society of Construction Law's (SCL's) guidance that it should be owned by the project is unsatisfactory, and looks at whether a contractor can claim for loss and expense if it is prevented from achieving its own completion date.
