Delay, the five letter word that is anathema to contractors and owners alike, is much a fact of life in today’s large, complex, multi-year projects. Attorney Jeff Gilmore and consultant Tom Fertitta cover the topic from A-Z, including typical causes, types and outcomes of most delay situations. Join Jeff and Tom to get dialed into the intricacies of delay presentations, support, analysis and defense, including:

• Typical causes of project delays
• The types of delays and their importance—excusable, non-excusable, compensable and non-compensable
• Concurrent, pacing and other delay types that affect delay cost and time recovery
• Time extensions, liquidated damages, delay and disruption costs
• Dealing with no-damage-for-delay clauses
• Proof of delay and remedies
• And much, much more!
