Prolongation costs in case of pacing delays

Hi

If a contractor decided himself to pace non affected work with ongong affected works, whether he would be eligible for prolongation costs? Or his delay in non affected areas woul be treated as concurrent delays that will not entitle him any prolongation costs?

Hi Aqil

I agree that a notice of pacing is good practice but it is rarely done.

I would suggest my ebook - Principles of Delay Analysis - will give you a good insight into delay analysis procedures.

It can be downloaded from my website www.expertdelayanalysis.com for £75.00

Thanks mike

It means if contractor hasnt provided advance notice to the client that he will be pacing his activities with employers delay event, this will be treated as his concurrent delay?

Also could u plz advise me some good books on evaluating extension of time and prolongation costs.

Many thanks

Hi Aqil

Extension of time are separate to claims for costs.

Pacing will not affect an EoT award but it will be taken into account when assessing and prolongation / disruption costs as it is very difficult to prove pacing is not delay.
