Time Extension Requests - What A Contractor Must Prove

This training program may well change the way in which you prepare or analyze the very next time extension request you have to deal with. It will discuss rules concerning time extension requests, arguments about waiver and apportionment of liquidated damages, concurrent delay issues and who has to prove concurrent delay, and more.

Why Should You Attend:

Whether an owner, a design professional, a construction manager or a contractor, all construction professionals must learn how to analyze, prepare and justify time extension requests. Owners and their representatives are tasked with the responsibility of receiving, analyzing and recommending a course of action and deciding on all time extension requests submitted by contractors. Contractors and CM’s at risk are required to analyze, prepare, justify and submit time extension requests on their own behalf and/or on behalf of their subcontractors.

This presentation will identify the tests that have been set forth by the U.S. Federal Courts to justify both excusable and compensable delay time extension requests. The presentation will discuss how these rules are applied, whether submitting or analyzing a time extension request. The webinar will also discuss the rules concerning concurrent delay and how courts hold the claimant responsible for allocating concurrent delay. Finally, the webinar will highlight two new court rulings which may be game changers concerning delays, time extension requests and the use of concurrent delay as a defense against liquidated damages.
