Abstract
Some of the fiercest disputes on building contracts arise out of delays in completion. More often than not, all of the various parties will be involved: employer, professional team, main contractor and sub-contractors, all vigorously blaming each other for the delay whilst proclaiming their own innocence. There are usually only two incontrovertible facts: that the building is late and that it will cost someone a great deal of money. The key questions are, of course, why, who and how much? The purpose of this chapter is to answer those questions in relation to sub-contracts.
