Construction Delays: Extensions of Time and Prolongation Claims

Delay and disruption can have massive and expensive implications for a construction project. However, the investigation and substantiation of delay and disruption on a project is often submitted, reviewed and resolved by way of a 'Delay Analysis'. There are essentially two parts to a 'Delay Analysis': the assessment of the effect or likely effect on progress and completion of the project, and the assessment of compensation by way of a prolongation claim. This book provides guidance on delay analysis, particularly in relation to extension of time submissions. It gives readers the information and practical details to be considered in formulating and resolving extension of time submissions and time-related prolongation claims. Useful guidance and recommended good practice is given on all the common delay analysis techniques, and worked examples of extension of time submissions and time-related prolongation claims are included. Written in a practical and user-friendly style with helpful charts, graphics and electronic templates, it will be useful for construction professionals dealing with extensions of time and delay claims, and for lawyers and others who are involved in the contentious side of the construction and engineering industries.Gibson, Roger is the author of 'Construction Delays: Extensions of Time and Prolongation Claims', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415345866 and ISBN 0415345863.
