Synopsis
Among the most disputed area of our contract is the Extension of Time (EOT) clause. Architects certification on EOT has been severely challenged and never enough by the contractor. The lack of understanding on the contract administration is part of the contribution to the dispute. Delay and disruption are endemic in the construction industry and lead to time and cost overrun. It is therefore important to identify possible delay and disruption early so that corrective action can be taken.
We examine the construction contract, PAM Contract 2018, the various clauses that are linked to EOT claims. The mechanism or events that triggers EOT such as: Architects Instructions and others. Assessment on concurrent and culpable Delays, disruptions, causation, work programme, Site meetings, site reports, and Architects liabilities will be discussed.
