“Three building contracts (A, B and C) have been awarded on JCT 2011 standard form building contracts. The contract period for each is 70 weeks but the contractor is working to a target programme of 68 weeks. QUESTION 1 Consider the following circumstances and advise whether an extension of time should be granted and why, and, if so, how much additional time should be allowed. a. Project A is on track to achieve the target when an event causing 10 weeks of delay occurs. b. Project B is now scheduled to finish in Week 80, due solely to the contractors own errors. The project is in Week 73 when an event causing four further weeks of delay occurs. c. Project C is on track to achieve the target when an event causing two weeks of delay occurs at the same time as an error on the part of the contractor, which also causes two weeks of delay.
