Explain how an owner will benefit from a no damages for delay clause

What will be an ideal response?


Owners would not benefit from a no damages for delay cause because they would not be entitled to damages if a contractor delays their project. A damages for delay clause allows an owner to set the amount of damages per day that would have to be paid to the owner by the contractor if a project is not completed on time. Damages could only be assessed if owners are able to prove the amount they would be losing per day if a project were not completed on time.
