It is now becoming common for contractors on projects that are delayed to make offers to accelerate works in order to achieve completion earlier than would otherwise be the case. This is becoming commonplace on projects where the completion date is sacrosanct. Examples are the opening nights of theatres, university accommodation projects, schools projects and millennium projects that employers may be prepared to pay a premium to have on a particular date. A recent public example of this is the contractor's offer to take responsibility for the completion of Bath Spa.
