EXTENSION OF TIME

Most construction contracts contain EOT clauses, setting out the criteria for claiming an extension of time.

Without such clauses, there is simply no mechanism for adjusting the completion date. If delays caused by the employer affect completion, the employer could lose his right to deduct liquidated damages in the event of further delay through the contractor’s fault.

At RPMS, we have the experience to protect every party in the event of an extension of time claim.

Acceptable scenarios for an extension request include:

  • Variations
  • Exceptionally adverse weather

  • Civil commotion or terrorism

  • Failure to provide information

  • Delay on the part of a nominated sub-contractor

  • Statutory undertaker’s work

  • A delay in giving the contractor possession of the site

  • Force majeure (such as an epidemic or an act of God)

  • Loss from a specified peril such as a flood

  • The supply of materials and goods by the client

  • Strikes

  • Changes in statutory requirements

  • Delays in receiving permissions that the contractor has taken reasonable steps to avoid

With RPMS on your side, you’ll be fully prepared for any EOT, and receive expert advice on how to apply for or respond to one.
