Delay and Acceleration Provisions

 

An area that you find risk shifting is in the delay and acceleration provisions.

Construct contracts typically contain a “no-damage‐for‐delay” provision, which only permits an extension of time for performance, as opposed to compensation for damages sustained as a result of the delay. This allocates the risk of delay on the contractor and subcontractors. There are basically three types of delays with a construction project, which include: excusable, inexcusable and concurrent. The most basic element of a constructive acceleration claim is the existence of a delay which is ''excusable'' and which entitles the contractor to an extension of the time for performance.
