What Constitutes A Construction Delay Claim?

Construction delay claims arise when project completion is hindered beyond the original timeline due to unforeseen circumstances or actions of involved parties. These delays can stem from various sources, including design issues, weather conditions, material shortages or labor disputes. Our lawyers help determine whether delays qualify as excusable, compensable or concurrent. We analyze critical path schedules, review project documentation and examine contractual provisions to establish the merit of delay claims.

Understanding the classification of delays is vital. Excusable delays may merit time extensions, while compensable delays could warrant monetary recovery. We assist clients in documenting increased costs, extended overhead and productivity losses resulting from delays. Our team works to establish causation and quantify damages through detailed analysis of project records and schedule impacts.

When Do Acceleration Claims Arise In Construction?

Acceleration claims occur when contractors must complete work in a compressed time frame, often resulting in increased costs and resource demands. These claims typically emerge in two scenarios: directed acceleration, where owners explicitly demand faster completion despite justified delays and constructive acceleration, where contractors must speed up work to overcome delays for which they are responsible.
