Hi Dimple

The daily report is a statement of fact so use it.

In considering the start date of work, is it the date from the Daily Report or I can use the Delivery Date of the materials?

Many thanks Mr. Mike

Hi Dimple

The contractor has proceeded with the variation at risk of receiving a VO. He has in fact mitigated the impact of the delay.

The piece of paper is only retrospective confirmation of something that has happened.

The date of impact of the event therefore must be the date that the Contractor started the work - it seems unfair but that is the case.

Apply the rules but please do not unjustly punish a contractor who was only doing his best.

Best regards
