We are excited to announce the launch of our new blog series, ‘Demystifying Delays and Extensions of Time in JCT Contracts.’

In this new series, we will provide valuable insights and practical support for the construction sector, focusing on how extensions of time work within JCT Design and Build (DB) Contracts.

The articles we share will simplify the complexities surrounding this topic, enabling you to manage construction projects with greater confidence and clarity.

Why we are focusing on extensions of time

One of the key aspects of construction contracts is managing delays and understanding the provisions for extensions of time. In the context of JCT DB Contracts, extensions of time are crucial for contractors and employers to ensure that projects are completed within a reasonable timeframe, despite unforeseen delays.

What our construction law experts will be covering

Our experts will be sharing a new article each month, focusing on the following topics:

Introduction to extensions of time under JCT DB
Which events entitle an extension of time?
How does a contractor claim an extension of time?
Employer’s response to extensions of time requests
Typical amendments to JCT extensions of time terms

In addition to focusing on extensions of time, we will also be sharing some initial articles to assess the impact of the changes that were made to the JCT Design and Build Contract in 2024.
