Hello Everyone,

Please help me in learning about this topic regarding Claim. The situation is as expalained below

The days for project completion : 100

Delay from Contractor will push the completion days to - 130

Delay from Client will push the completion days to - 110

 

Both are parallel delays without which the project cannot be completed. so what will be the delay charge to Contractor 20 days or 30 days as the maximum delay is caused by the Contractor which is in parallel with Clients delay.

    Hi Jithin,

     

    If the delay is excusable (by client), the contractor can ask for the EOT as well as the cost of those 10 days.

    Thank you Mike. Same as my

    Thank you Mike. Same as my though and you have given a good clarity on my knowledge. 

    Now got the Point. The EOT would be only for 10 days as the client has delayed & the contractor has delayed + 20 days for which he has to pay the cost.

    One more question,

    If the Client has delayed the Project. Contract duration was 100 days and because of clients delay it became 110 days to complete the Project. Wouldnt the Contractor be eligible to ask LD Cost for 10 days ?

    Thanks

    Jithin
