Scott McKinnell looks at whether you might be entitled to extra
time and money to complete your works as a result of strike
action.
The construction industry like other parts of British society
has been hit by the recent strikes on 30 November, whether relating
to increased time for equipment, materials and labour to arrive on
site due to difficulties with transport, or in some cases, due to
staff being unable to deal with their normal duties due to short
notice childcare arrangements.
The present generation of construction professionals have not in
many cases had to deal with this before and faced with the prospect
of further industrial action over coming weeks and months, are now
having to consider what may in many cases be a significant impact
on the progress of works on site and the implications that this may
have for the extra time and cost that it takes to complete
works.
