FAQ
Excusable delays are those that are beyond the control of the owner/contractor and leaves them without fault or negligence.
An extension of time is usually only given if the contractor proves that the delay to the completion date is not down to his action or inaction. Common reasons for an extension of time would include adverse weather, variations to the works from the employer or difficulties encountered on site.
Inexcusable delays are those where the contractor was entirely responsible for extending the project's duration. If this is the case, then the contractor will be liable for any costs or damages caused by the delay.
An extension of time defers the contract completion date and thereby gives the contractor a longer period within which to complete the works. In order to decide whether a contractor is entitled to an extension of time, it is necessary to establish the cause of the delay and the period of delay.
In San Antonio, daytime is defined as 6 AM to 10 PM but in Houston permitted construction hours are 7 AM to 8 PM while Dallas ends the daytime hours at 7 PM. Additionally, each jurisdiction regulates weekend, holiday and after hours work differently, requiring special permits for exceptions to normal permitted hours.
What does Extension of time mean? A mechanism by which a contractor requests a longer period than had been contractually agreed in order to complete the building works. A contractor will usually make a request for an extension of time and give reasons for it.
There are three categories of delays in the construction industry: excusable, inexcusable, and concurrent. Excusable ones are generally unforeseen circumstances that are outside of the contractor's control and mainly include force majeure situations, such as weather, war, pandemics, and government actions.
