    If it’s fixed price and prices go up, the options are

    1. construction company makes a loss. They will do all they can to avoid this, so

    2. they use inferior quality (cheaper) materials and/or cut corners

    3. or they themselves negotiate fixed prices or discounts with suppliers…for suppliers then see 1 and 2

    Decision day happening at the moment.

    I hope @shark is there supporting the cause (or what’s left of it)

    It will be a disgrace if they don’t go ahead

    Nah. They are deciding today. It’s live on stuff.

    Non binery folk aren’t supportive, it appears. (This was in the submission a few moments ago)

    Interesting, you'd think that they wouldn't assume it as a yes / no distinction.

    Council voted 13:3 in favour of spending the “fixed” $683m

    Yay. Build the damn thing

    That is a tremendous entertainment and terrible financial decision.

    who would take on a fixed price contract in the current climate, unless your price is way above market?

    Sure you price in contingencies, but the world be crazy and prices escalating, and the time frames involved here...

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/129249542/fixedprice-contract-negotiated-for-christchurch-stadium

    From a business perspective that's the most stupid decision I have ever seen. If another price hike hits you have basically garenteed that your business is going down the drain. And at best the building company has garenteed that they won't make money on the job.

    @Mackerzzzz thats not true, they have not guaranteed they wont make any money, they made the deal at the tail of covid when shipping materials was the hardest, lots to suggest they will become easier to source....and they will have hiked a huge premium onto the price to be locked in....the construction company is the last one im worried about

    @Kiwiwomble I'm astonished they're actually commencing work on this.

    doesn't seem like a cracking pace considering it was signed off in July last year

    @Kiwiwomble All the renders of the stadium have that caveat attached.

    Pretty pictures mean SFA once the value engineers get their mitts on a design.

    @dogmeat ok, just confirming the context, you referring to my comment on the progress? as in they may have gone back to the drawing board? ture in principle but to reliably submit a tender price (especially a fixed price) they will have had to be more than 80-90% reference design (if not well into detail design), meaning the things outstanding will be the door handles and paint colour

    Didn't they have problems getting rid of one particular building on the site, because the owners refused to sell? Or was that longer ago? This has been going on for so long, that I've trouble with the time line.
