You should also expect that the builder will seek extra money for the job to arrive on schedule. He has to try to predict the weather over the next 5 - 12 months, he has to predict the conditions underground (Is the ground suitable for ordinary foundations) He also has to allow for non availability of materials due to strikes, etc
That is something that both yourself and the contractor are best in a situation to decide. It may be worth consulting an architect familiar with your site and design. items such as ground conditions, construction method(Timber frame v block built) Commencement date( Obviously less weather risk for a timber frame house starting now).
....... that's not my point.... so if anyone has built in such penalties in the past I wouldlike to know of their experiences.is correct, you can't just pick a number out of the sky and
charge this amount for every week the contract runs late. If you're
worried about delays then I suggest you employ a competent architect
who will explain the contract clauses in the RIAI contract to you.
