Question
During the execution of a construction contract, the
following events occurred: ·       Materials worth ₹5 lakh were damaged due to heavy rainfall and became unusable. ·       After the heavy rainfall, the client requested to construct an extra parking shed which was not part of the original contract. The contractor raised a claim of ₹25 lakh for this additional work. How should these items be treated in contract costing?Solution
The material loss of Rs.5 lakh is considered a normal loss due to unavoidable occurrence of rainfall at the site. Normal loss is part of the contract cost and therefore will be charged to contract cost. Note - If the loss was abnormal (fire/theft), then it would have been charged to Costing P&L The Rs.25 lakh of additional shed is extra work at the request of the client. As it was not a part of the original contract, it represents extra or variation work. The amount claimed by the contractor will be credited to contract account.
