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.

Ok, so there is an owner caused delay, say it is 30 days.  So the Contractor gets a 30 day time extension and what % of Gen. OH costs = 4%, 6% of contract value - what is the general rule of thumb?  I know there are 10 ways to calc it, what is most simple?  what is most common?  If there was a cost loaded schedule, couldn't they supercede that simply because accounting has better numbers or industry precedence?
