Forensic Claims Analysis

Description

Got any questions about Claim Assessment

Container
No

Is the delay excusable?

Our contractor is building a office block. The structural steel was scheduled to arrive on site in the 12th week, but the nominated supplier delivered it two weeks late.

The contractor missed the milestone for completing the steel frame, pushing back mechanical, electrical, cladding trades. I am tasked to write a simple report to answer the Engineers challenge of "Is this delay excusable (entitling the contractor to an EOT), or is it non‑excusable (i.e. our contractor’s risk)?
