Loss of productivity on the accelerated building. 2. Further delay and extension costs on the delayed building. If it is not a valid instruction then you do not have to act upon it but you can negotiate a new agreement outside the contract - for both buildings.

Hi Prastya
Not many forms of contract give the Employer the right to order an acceleration - so check if the instruction to accelerate is valid.
if it is a valid instruction then you have two possible claim heads.
1. Loss of productivity on the accelerated building.
2. Further delay and extension costs on the delayed building.
If it is not a valid instruction then you do not have to act upon it but you can negotiate a new agreement outside the contract - for both buildings.
