Hi CH

It is not so much the sub-con completion date that is important but the intermediate dates when your stages interface with other contractors.

So if the RC frame is late then the M&E first fix to soffites will be delayed and/or the cladding will be late.

You must notify the main contractor of all such delays and the impact on your programme.

Best regards

Hi Mike,

It is not a binding sub contract document. We do issue a programme to them, although it was never officially tracked.

We do have a subcompletion date in the contract and a main contractor master programme which states that we are supposed to carry out our works in line with the master programme. 

Thanks

Hi CH

One question - is the programme a binding sub-contract document?

This advice assumes that it is not - let me know if it is and I will give you further advice.

You are on the right track - you are following the As Built v As Planned EoT method and yours is the only situation where it works.

Keep a look out for other delay events where your work progress is delayed - you will need a combination of methods in that case.

You should send in your notice of delay ASAP stating the correct contractual clauses.

Best regards
