Document background
The Extension of Time Letter is a critical document in Danish construction and infrastructure projects, used when circumstances beyond the contractor's control necessitate an extension to the original project completion date. This document type is particularly relevant under Danish law, where it must comply with the AB 18 (General Conditions for Building and Construction Works and Supplies) and general contract law principles. The letter should be submitted promptly when delays are identified, providing comprehensive documentation of the delay events, their impact on the project timeline, and any mitigation measures undertaken. It serves both as a formal notification and a detailed request, potentially forming the basis for contract amendments and dispute resolution. The document is essential for maintaining clear communication between parties and protecting contractual rights regarding project timelines.
