Construction contracts generally allow the construction period to be extended where there is a delay that is not the contractor's fault. This is described as an extension of time (EOT).

Culpable delay is when there is a delay that is entirely due to the contractor. The period of time after the contractual date for completion has passed is referred to as the period of contractor culpable delay. Where the contractor is culpable for the delay, they have no entitlement to an EOT and, very likely, no monetary compensation.

Culpable delay can also refer to the situation where the contractor falls behind the programme schedule with no cause for extension.

Concurrent delay is a complex legal situation that occurs when a contractor is in culpable delay but when an event occurs during the same period that would entitle the contractor to an EOT. For more information, see Concurrent delay.

In Carillion Construction Ltd. v Woods Bagot Europe Ltd. and others’ [2016], the Technology and Construction Court held that a subcontractor was entitled to an EOT and that it should run contiguously from the contractual completion date. This meant that the subcontractor’s period of culpable delay was extinguished, and it was no longer liable for delay.
