An extension of time is a contractual mechanism that permits the adjustment of an existing completion date of a construction contract where certain conditions are met. The failure to claim for an extension of time where delay has not been the fault of the contractor can have serious financial consequences.
An extension of time is usually only given if the contractor proves that the delay to the completion date is not down to his action or inaction. Common reasons for an extension of time would include adverse weather, variations to the works from the employer or difficulties encountered on site.
