General Contractor Public Sector Construction Delay Claim Litigation
The general contractor was hired to construct a warehouse and workshop for a public body in Illinois. After the client completed the project, which had doubled in scope, the public body imposed liquidated damages and rejected the client’s delay claim, causing more than a dozen subcontractors to file suit. Each subcontractor suit was resolved efficiently while a substantial recovery was obtained for the client after extensive documentation of critical path scheduling delays and cost impact.
