Delay Claims

Construction delays are delays in the progress of a project as compared to the initially established timelines. Although delays do not always pose a problem, a delay during a critical phase of development can cripple a construction project and cause significant financial problems for sureties, loan holders, and suppliers.

In residential or light construction projects, delays usually result from a lack of communication between contractors, subcontractors, and property owners. However, in more complex construction projects, problems often arise that cannot be foreseen at the time of the original time schedule. So, other legal documents are used to correctly assign or waive legal responsibility during a delay. These documents include:

• Change Orders
• Lien Wavers
• Contract Addenda

With all these documents, a scrupulous understanding of the proper legal procedure involved in handling delays is essential.
