I'm working on a project, non-standard conditions of contract. For "bad weather" as the contractor we are referred to a clause covering force majeur (which includes acts of God). But is unseasonally heavy rain covered by such a clause? Of course maybe the contractor has to prove the rain has been heavier, or longer than usual over a period of years. But is there any grounds for an owner just to reject, claiming it is not a force majeur, or act of God event?
 
vandede427, what sort of engineers are you talking about? I am talking about a construction project on which the civil engineers, including myself, can work while it rains. But the problem is that the construction operatives cannot, this affects the production rates.
