Suspend Work – “Remain on Standby” – 3 Key Words

When an Owner issues a suspension of work directive, is the contractor entitled to recover delay and delay damages?

The rules governing recovery of damages under Suspension of Work clauses have been changing over the past two decades.  Recovery of costs and time may no longer be taken for granted.

This webinar explores operation of the Suspension of Work clause.  We will examine what damages are typically owed when work is suspended, as well as some limitations of suspension damages.

Five court cases setting forth key requirements necessary to collect damages are discussed.  Recommendations of what actions Contractors should take when work is suspended are provided and why these actions may help Owners resolve such claims in the field rather than the courtroom.

Participants will:

• Learn what a suspension of work is.
• The types and typical causes of suspensions.
• The operation of a suspension clause.
• What damages are recoverable, and which are not.
• Current tests of damage recovery.
• How contractors protect their rights to recover suspension of work damages.
