What is a typical FM termination trigger period?

Most commercial FM clauses allow termination after 60–180 days of continuous FM-caused delay. Long-term contracts (infrastructure, energy) often use 6–12 months. Shorter triggers give parties flexibility; longer triggers protect ongoing business relationships.

What compensation is owed on FM termination?

FM termination typically entitles the performing party to payment for work done to date (quantum meruit) but no loss of profit on unperformed work. Some contracts include demobilisation costs and reimbursement of pre-paid materials.
