Owner Delay Clause Samples
The Owner Delay clause defines the procedures and consequences when a project is delayed due to the actions or inactions of the owner. Typically, this clause outlines how contractors should notify the owner of such delays, the documentation required, and the process for requesting extensions of time or compensation. For example, if the owner fails to provide necessary approvals or access to the site, the contractor may be entitled to additional time or costs. The core function of this clause is to allocate responsibility for delays caused by the owner, ensuring fairness and clarity in project timelines and compensation.
