Can Shijiazhuang apply for a claim for construction period for this year's rainstorm?

According to the Contract Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Construction Contract of Construction Projects and other laws and regulations, as of August 25, 2023, if the construction period is delayed due to force majeure, the construction unit may apply to the owner for extension of the construction period and request compensation for the construction period according to the actual situation. Extreme weather such as rainstorm belongs to natural disasters and is one of the force majeure factors. Therefore, the heavy rain in Shijiazhuang caused the project to be postponed, and the construction unit can apply for an extension of the construction period and claim compensation from the owner.
