FAQs originated as questions asked in response to the OAA’s Construction Contract Administration Committee’s “Ask a Question, Get an Answer” efforts, posed by callers to the Practice Hotline, and sent by email to the Practice Advisors. The responses are based on the limited information contained in the question as posted and may include assumptions made about the context and circumstances in order to frame the response. The responses and answers were reviewed by committee members, represent peer advice, and are not to be taken as OAA policy.
The FAQs were current when they were written. With the advent of the 3rd edition of the Canadian Handbook of Practice (CHOP), several FAQs were revised to add references to the new document.
Readers are to use their judgment in applying the FAQ answers to the specifics of their own situations.
