Construction Acceleration Claims

Construction acceleration claims can occur if an owner or general contractor directs a party to perform all or a portion of its work prior to its anticipated completion date. Acceleration can often lead to increased costs for the contractor. We service our clients by evaluating and quantifying construction acceleration costs before or after a contractor is directed to accelerate.

In some cases, acceleration is not due to explicit direction from the owner but is instead constructive in nature. An owner’s refusal to grant a time extension for a previous delay can result in a contractor accelerating their work to meet their contractual completion dates. Such a scenario requires detailed analysis to determine whether the schedule slippage is due to the contractor’s performance issues or is due to events beyond its control.
