  1. If it arises from a Variation, yes.
  2. The FIDIC Guide gives a 3 point detailed guide to this: basically if the BoQ requires that an item should be measured then an additional item is needed. If the BoQ does not require an item to be measured, then it is not, if the BoQ needs to be corrected to comply with the principles of measurement, then an item is added.
  3. The rate changes if the change in quantity is more than 25% of the original quantity, and the change in quantity multiplied by the bill rate is more than 0.25% of the Accepted Contract Amount and the change in quantity must change the cost per unit quantity by more than 1%
