Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi If a contractor decided himself to pace non affected work with ongong affected works, whether he would be eligible for prolongation costs? Or his delay in non affected areas woul be treated as concurrent delays that will not entitle him any prolongation costs? Regards

Hi Aqil

I agree that a notice of pacing is good practice but it is rarely done.

I would suggest my ebook - Principles of Delay Analysis - will give you a good insight into delay analysis procedures.

It can be downloaded from my website www.expertdelayanalysis.com for £75.00

Hi Aqil

Extension of time are separate to claims for costs.

Pacing will not affect an EoT award but it will be taken into account when assessing and prolongation / disruption costs as it is very difficult to prove pacing is not delay.
