Rights of the Parties and The Contractor’s Remedies for Breach in EPC Contracts

This Skill Bit shows, that the EPC contract should outline the Owner’s rights for Contractor breaches, including work suspension, contract termination, instruction issuance, payment withholding, and damage recovery. Alternative remedies like specific performance may also be pursued. The Owner can offset amounts owed against damages. Contractor remedies include suspension or termination for non-payment, progress certification failure, loan default, insolvency, or material breach, with rights to recover costs. Contractors may also terminate if the Owner fails to provide necessary access or causes delays.
