New page

An instruction is a request, order or command from one party to another. Typically, the person issuing the instruction requests a course of action or a sequence of events to be implemented by the party that has received the instruction.

For whatever reason, instructions usually have to obeyed or implemented. If not, the party on the receiving end of the instruction may find themselves in a difficult or embarrassing position.

A typical example of an instruction given by a teacher to a pupil may be: "When multiplying by ten, add a zero to the number being multiplied."

In construction, consultants, clients and contractors issue orders continually to ensure buildings are completed on time and to budget. The most obvious example is the ‘architect’s instruction’ (AI) sometimes called a variation order. This is an instruction in written form, usually from the architect (see below) to the contractor which authorises additional day work or a change in the specification or drawings.

The contractor must comply with the instruction within certain limitations, but has the right to ‘reasonably object’. Any instructions can only be given as empowered by the contract.

The contract administrator on a project can also issue the same sort of instruction to the contractor, in which case it may be called a ‘contract administrator’s instruction.

For further details on architect’s instruction see the dedicated article on this website.
