3.General types of delay in construction

Question

Accepted Answer

General types of delay in construction include excusable, non-excusable, and concurrent delays.

Excusable delays are caused by factors outside the control of the contractor, such as weather or changes in the project scope.
Non-excusable delays are caused by the contractor's actions or inactions, such as poor planning or lack of resources.
Concurrent delays occur when multiple delays are happening at the same time, making it difficult to determine which delay caused the project to be delayed.
Examples of excusable delays include natural disasters, government actions, and unforeseen site conditions.
Examples of non-excusable delays include late delivery of materials, equipment breakdowns, and labor disputes.
Examples of concurrent delays include a delay caused by the owner's change order and a delay caused by the contractor's poor planning.
