How do I justify an extension of time using the programme?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Show how delays affect the critical path. Use the programme to track progress against planned milestones. Document reasons for delays with evidence like site reports or correspondence. Make your case clear and link the delay to the extension request.
Key points
- Identify delays on the critical path.
- Use site reports as evidence.
- Link delays directly to your request.
Documenting delays is essential. Use the programme to show how they impact the schedule. Prove that the delays were out of your control, such as weather issues or late materials. Gather all necessary documentation to back up your claim.
