Dealing with delays
Delays are now part of the reality of residential building. From material shortages and labour constraints to permit approvals and regulatory complexity, even well-managed projects can fall behind. But how you manage those delays can make the difference between protecting your margins and ending up in a costly contract dispute.
This practical guide walks builders through how to manage delays at every stage of a project - before signing the contract, after execution but before commencement, and once work is underway. It covers key risk areas including setting realistic building periods, understanding liquidated damages, managing insurance limits, handling extensions of time (EOTs), and responding if a homeowner disputes a claim.
If you want to reduce exposure to damages, avoid unnecessary disputes and stay compliant under Victorian contract requirements, this resource gives you clear, actionable steps to protect your business and keep projects moving.
