Who is responsible for construction delays?

Responsibility depends on the cause. Contractors are accountable for delays within their control — scheduling, labor, and coordination. Owners may be responsible for late decisions or design changes. Some delays, like permitting, severe weather, or material shortages, are outside anyone's control and are typically addressed in the contract's terms.
