This is to complicated for you to explain everything one would need to know in order for somone to answer your question. As an example, you have not discussed the project critical path and what activities on the critical path have been affected. I would suggest getting some outside help. I know this is self serving, but I do evaluate project delays for a living and I can help you with your situation, but I would need schedules, correspondence, and other documentation in order to analyze the project events and determine if you are entitled to a EOT. I can be contacted at sfd@sfdelaneyconsulting.com. To get a better feel for my experience and background you can visit my website at sfdelaneyconsulting.com.
Best of luck,

It is difficult for me to understand how you being that Main Contractor the Consultant declared in default a Subcontractor, if a Subcontractor then it is your company responsibility as he is contractually liable to you and you contractually liable to the Owner for his actions.
I believe you are working under a Project Management Type Contract where the Consultant is the PM or maybe a Multiple Prime Contractors Agreement Type. The power, responsibilities and liabilities of the Consultant as well as yours can vary substantially depending on what type of agreement you are working.
My suggestion, keep the issue confidential, don't show others all your cards.

Thanx for responding. The contract duration is 854 days (Nov. 7, 2008 to March 10, 2011)
A delay of 180 days in enabling works from main contractor but that is not in the discussion at the moment coz we have already lost that claim. Still for the history I mention here that the enabling works was delayed due to emergence of the pile of the neighboring plot up to 80cm in our plot, and the concrete congregation as well. And those were not mentioned in the site data. Further the water table was also revised by the authority.
The MEP was delayed by 120 days due to late start & slow progress of engineering and procurement and lack of manpower as well.
My question is, can we claim extension when the consultant took three months to nominate new MEP subcontractor due to which the finishing works like false ceiling etc. could not done.

Why did the civil work stop? Was it choice of contractor or instruction from client? Was it because certain MEP work had to be completed before any remaining Civil work could progress?
Why was the original MEP contractor removed? You say they are your sister company, but are you considered a single entity in terms of the contract?

Member for
18 years 3 monthsplease clarify 180 days delay
please clarify 180 days delay due to enabling works plus 120 days delay due to MEP works?
or 180 days less 120 days will be main contractor's delay?
how long is the contract duration, if all delays are caused by contractor, recovery is a must
