What owner actions can cause delays?

There are a few situations where progress can be impacted, usually where we’re waiting on the next step to keep things moving. 

These may include:

• A progress payment being received later than expected
• Availability to attend your Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) or Practical Completion Sign-Off (PCS) once the home is ready
• Requests for contract variations, such as changes to the design, inclusions or selections
• Owner-completed works approved under the contract (for example pools, asbestos removal or retaining walls) not being completed when required
• Engaging a Private Building Consultant to inspect a stage, which may pause works while inspections and responses are completed

In some cases, delays arising from these situations may result in an extension of time under the contract.
