The first is a rather lengthy webinar that deals with a wide range of issues that contractors and architects are facing. The second is an article on similar topics. As to the question raised here, focus on the first 45 minutes of the webinar, which covers contractor delay issues in detail.Materials all look at these issues from the perspective of parties who executed an AIA contract before the pandemic occurred and are now looking to their contracts to understand their rights.
