Construction Delay & Extension of Time Consultancy
Specialist support in understanding construction delay, Extension of Time entitlement, and the records and analysis behind them.
Delay is rarely as simple as the headline suggests
Construction delay usually involves multiple, often concurrent causes — some within the contractor's control, some not. Establishing genuine Extension of Time entitlement means working through delay notifications, programme analysis, critical path impact, Relevant Events and Relevant Matters, and the contemporaneous records that support or undermine the position.
This is specialist construction, programme and contract consultancy — not legal advice, and ELLIS Construction Consulting is not a law firm. Where a matter requires legal advice, that sits alongside the construction and programme analysis, not in place of it.
