Clause 63.4

CE Assessment — Time Impact

Purpose

The assessment of the time impact of a CE considers the effect on the Completion Date and Key Dates. The assessment uses the Accepted Programme as the baseline.

Practical Application

Each CE's time impact is assessed individually. The Contractor shows how the event delays planned Completion compared to the Accepted Programme.

Common Pitfalls

Concurrent delays complicate assessment. If the Contractor's own delay runs concurrently with a CE delay, the CE time entitlement may be reduced or eliminated.
