Due to the rainy weather, the construction period is delayed, which causes the economic loss of people's slowdown. Can I claim compensation from the owner?

1. can't claim compensation, because rainy weather is normal weather, not caused by force majeure or the owner's reasons, so the claim conditions are not established.

2. In general, the contractor shall be responsible for the losses caused by the weather. If the contractor can prove that it is a special abnormal weather condition (such as once-in-a-century flood, once-in-a-century rainstorm, etc.). ), the extension of the construction period can be obtained by using the "unfavorable conditions that an experienced contractor cannot reasonably foresee" stipulated in the contract terms (see FIDIC Civil Engineering Construction Contract Conditions 12. 1 and 44. 1). At the same time, if we can further demonstrate that the change of construction period belongs to the category of "engineering change", we can also obtain the claim for expenses (see FIDIC civil engineering). The claim outside the contract requires the contractor to be very familiar with the contract and related laws and have rich claim experience.

3. Definition of claims for construction projects: Claims refer to claims made by one party to the contract to the other party after the other party suffers losses due to its failure to perform or fulfill its obligations stipulated in the contract or its promised contract conditions.
