Pricing Contractor Delay Costs Presented by:
Peter V. Badala, Managing Director, Navigant Consulting, Inc.
James G. Zack, Executive Director, Navigant Construction Forum™ When contractors encounter owner caused (excusable/compensable) delay they are typically entitled under the contract to recover both the time resulting from the delay, as well as delay damages. Typically, contractors seek to recover their delay costs -- extended field office overhead or general conditions costs. Calculating this cost is more complex than dealing with direct delay costs. There are at least eight methods for calculating extended field office overhead costs and none of the calculations arrive at the same daily cost. This presentation reviews all eight methods – offering commentary on the strong and weak points of each. In addition, the webinar will offer recommendations on how project owners can resolve this dilemma in advance of delays, thus making the issue less contentious should a contractor encounter an owner caused delay. This information packed, 90-minute recorded webinar will help you: Very informative presentation. Anonymous Participant Very informative and to the point and a good use of scarce and valuable time. Yes, I'd be interested in future events. Dan Reid,
