Winter weather should not justify an extension of time as it is a predictable element during construction that lasts long enough to go through it.
An extension of time would be justifiable for anything that is classed as unforeseeable and that the contractor would have been able to deal with it without any delay had it been an obvious issue.
A contract can only be extended by a request for an extension of time from the contractor, if he believes that he will not be able to meet the agreed Practical Completion date.
An extension of time (EOT) is a provision in most standard forms of contract, for an amendment of the scheduled Practical Completion date due to unforeseen circumstances.
