Certificate in Extension of Time Claims

Most construction projects undergo delay due to different reasons. If the contractor fails to deliver the project as per contract within the specified time duration then the Employer is eligible to deduct Liquidated Damages. This is not to the benefit of the contractor. However, if the delay is due to a valid reason the contractor is entitled to claim for Extension of Time. Further, he can also submit his claim for prolongation cost.

Usually, Standard Conditions of Contracts have clauses and provisions for both Extension of Time and claim for prolongation cost. However, when it comes to real situations, this is one of the most disputed topics in the construction industry. If the contractor fails to identify the grounds to claim and when to claim, he will lose his opportunity to claim an extension of time. In the end, the Employer is eligible to deduct Liquidated Damages for a project delay.
