b) The followings are issues related to delay and extension of time. Assuming the PWD203A Standard Form of Contract had been used in the contract give your views on the issues. a) A construction project to build a five storey building is delayed due to two competing causes of delay, often referred to as concurrent delays. One of the causes of delay is related to the responsibility of the Contractor while the other is a result of some fault of the engineer hired by the client.

Can the main Contractor bring other labour onto the site to supplement the subcontractor's efforts in order to ensure the work complete on time?
