Delay Claims

Delay Damages

Project delays can cost anyone involved in the construction process large amounts of money.  Delays are sometimes caused by project owners, by bad designs, by contractor errors.  When project delays are caused due to a breach of contract or negligent design, there are usually legal remedies to compensate a damaged party.  Sometimes contract clauses seem to limit the ability to recover delay damages.  These clauses are known as “no damages for delay clauses.”  Even though the clause appears in the contract, Florida case law says that the active interference of a party that causes delays will overcome the contract clause.  The Board Certified Construction attorneys at FBSW have experience filing claims for delay damages. 

Delay Claims on Contingency

The Board Certified Construction attorneys at FBSW will consider taking large delay claim cases on a contingency basis.  Often times, delay claims can cost a contractor hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in lost profits, extended overhead, and other losses.  Project owners can also suffer large damages due to project delays including lost rental income or loss of favorable interest rates.  To find out if your case qualifies for consideration as a contingency case, the construction attorneys at FBSW will meet with you for a no cost consultation.
