Hi,
A Construction Permit may be of several types: Permit for phase up to the ground level, Permit for partial occupancy, etc. so its not limited to the end of the Project. The case cited is that the Employer got the permit for 4 years but tendered work 3 years after to the Contractor. The Owner hoped that work would be completed earlier than contract completion date but this could not happen. Therefore, the Owner faced problems in renewing the permit but during that period, the Contractor had incurred delays from his S/Cs as well.

hi,
i think there is some confusion here,as i believe it is strange to have the work permit expire and there is still time to complete within the contractual period of completion as the workpermits are issued upto the period of completion,in this case,as the contractor is continuing to complete the works to complete on time as per the milestone of the contract,however it is worth mentioning that there are instances if the client happen to be one of the governing body of the state they have the legal right to issue the workpermit at any instance in time and at the same time it is the responciblity of the contractor to notify the status for official purposes,please be reminded to check your insurances clauses and notify your insurance company to accomodate such instances as they will refuse to compensate for any eventuality WHICH IS BIG CONCERN THEN CLAIM,
ANY SIMILAR VIEWS ARE SOLICITED
Cheers!!!
As the Contractor never stopped working, you cant realy ask for a delay due to the lack of a real stoppage. Though you can make devlope the claim on the basis of Disruptions orginating from the non-availability of permits. And please be advised that disruptions are nearly impossible to prove on CPM, you might have to go for techniques like measured mile.
