Description
When an owner issues a suspension of work directive, is the contractor entitled to recover delay and delay damages?

The rules governing recovery of damages under Suspension of Work clauses have changed over the past two decades. Recovery of costs and time are no longer to be taken for granted. This session examines what damages are typically owed when work is suspended and some limitations of suspension damages.

Five court cases setting forth key requirements necessary to collect damages are discussed. Recommendations on what actions contractors should take when work is suspended are provided, and why these actions may help owners resolve such claims in the field rather than the courtroom.

Who Should Attend

• Staff personnel involved in preparing and submitting change orders and construction claims.
• Staff personnel receiving, analyzing, and resolving change requests and construction claims.
