or the effect of the Works on the existing building or structure, could not reasonably have been foreseen by the Contractor during the
course of the Works; and
(b) where as a result of opening up any part of the existing building or structure to carry out the Works, any additional or altered work is
required because of non-standard construction or any substandard timber or other materials or because of any material which is
required to be replaced or removed to carry out the Works, then the cost of any additional or altered work shall be borne by the Client
