Doubt we'll want to disrupt the squad towards the end of this season now so expect we'll move in in the pre-season for next season whenever the hell that is.

dynamark Posted 6 June 2020 Share Posted 6 June 2020 Fair enough everyone would have been at home down saffron lane(or in Dubia)july 1st anyway.Lets assume it should be ready to go say end of August which is if achieved will be a pretty good outcome. And obviously our players will be inspired to new heights of achievement and will win the league by 20 pojnts next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 7 June 2020 Share Posted 7 June 2020 It seems that pre season won’t commence until after mid August - the European comps will be concluded that month which means the domestic leagues won’t restart until mid sept so the completion delay towards or perhaps into August won’t be so important More time to get the greens sorted ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebangsthedrums Posted 7 June 2020 Share Posted 7 June 2020 I'm sure there will be a force majeure clause in the contract - mad from the construction co if not. Seems sensible to wait until season done to move in, even if possible earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 7 June 2020 Share Posted 7 June 2020 No such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes. 6 weeks is not too bad in this circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 7 June 2020 Share Posted 7 June 2020 6 week behind programme is quite incredible going when they had a self-imposed delay because Thai Monks wanted to bless the steels. Then there was heavy rain and Coronavirus. There will be a late clause - contractor has to ask for extension of time and then architect or project manager has to consider if that's fair. If the delay isn't reasonable, penalty clause will be the loss sustained to LCFC pretty much - which would be interesting to see how that's added up.

dynamark Posted 8 June 2020 Share Posted 8 June 2020 the penalty clause (no pun)will be in the contract at x per week but any company worth their salt will have any numbers of surveyors working on the reason for delay,lack of client information,weather ,monks.act of god(virus) etc .they should get away with six weeks. then theres the next job to consider relationship between the parties.ie.stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoyleFox Posted 8 June 2020 Share Posted 8 June 2020 The current circumstances would constitute a reasonable delay surely? Especially as the start of next season is delayed. The six week delay will still have it completed before preseason, however that's going to work with the season extended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 8 June 2020 Share Posted 8 June 2020 So when were we due to open this? Will we be able to move in for the pre-season for 20/21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 8 June 2020 Share Posted 8 June 2020 Hopefully any delay will be resolved amicably. There will no doubt be fixed liquidated damages payable by the contractor built into the contract for any delays, however, the same will apply in respect of claims for extension of time payments to cover additional costs incurred due to delay beyond the contractors control (eg coronavirus inclement weather etc). and/or the club or its architects specifically varying the terms or requesting additional works not in the original scope (this is almost guaranteed to have happened as it does on practically every job i have ever worked on) so it will probably even itself out. Hopefully we do not see a situation similar to the one when the stadium was built, where the contractor walked away leaving a mountain of snags because the club refused to meet their (in their opinion) reasonable additional costs. Obviously times were different then and the club was going into administration. I would like to think that we are better organised and fairer to deal with these days.

The proper answer is I think to close the central reservation, if you want to turn right, then you take a detour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
