What time do you have?

摘要

Unexpected construction delays often result in increased costs to a subcontractor. It is rare indeed to see a subcontractor dispute or claim that does not include a delay component. To be successful, a subcontractor must prove that its contract specified a schedule or completion date. In Keeney Const, v. James Talcott Const. Co., Inc., 45 P.3d 19 (Mont. 2002), the Montana Supreme Court determined that a subcontractor that worked as directed by the general contractor could not recover delay damages. While the case involves building construction, highway contractors can still learn from it.
