ABSTRACT
Time is an extremely important issue in construction. Together with cost and quality, it is a primary objective of project management, and a major criterion by which the success of a project is judged (Charmer 1990). The scope of this subject may be seen from clause 2.4 of JCT SBC 05, which states:
On the Date of Possession possession of the site or, in the case of a Section, possession of the relevant part of the site shall be given to the contractor who shall thereupon begin the construction of the Works or Section and regularly and diligently proceed with the same and shall complete the same on or before the Completion Date.
