Learn to Calculate Delay Claim Costs
Presented by Anwar Hafeez
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. However before we get into the specifics, we'll also review the basics. Listen to Anwar to:
- Learn what is a delay for a GC and a Subcontractor?
- Discover legal definitions of delays
- Understand different types of delay
- Learn the difference between compensable and non-compensable delays
- Figure out what types of schedules are used to prove delays and when
