Thanks for the reply Dave.
The Subcontractos Contract Data Part 2 stipulates an Access Date, but also gives the Contractor the option to cancel or defer the access date giving a 3 weeks notice period. Which we did. However, the Subcontractor is claiming that even though the Access Date was deferred within the time scales they could not re-allocate the staff so are claiming additional prelims for the duration of the deferment, which was six months under 60.1(2) There is no other provision in the Contract for the Subcontractor to recover costs should the Access Date be deferred
