Construction Contracts: Questions and Answers – Episode 18: Extensions of Time & Adjustments Post-Practical Completion

In this episode, we address the essential topic of time extensions and the adjustments that occur after practical completion in construction contracts. We dive into the grounds on which a contractor may request an extension of time, including delays due to unforeseen circumstances, client-caused issues, or adverse weather. We examine the procedure for applying for extensions, the assessment criteria, and the architect or contract administrator's role in approving or denying requests. Further, we discuss adjustments post-practical completion, such as finalizing outstanding work, handling latent defects, and making final payment adjustments. This episode provides insights into managing project timelines effectively and navigating the contractual processes needed to achieve a fair outcome for all parties once the project has reached completion.
