Answer to Question 1

Consequential damages are the result of delays to peripheral activities or succeeding activities when one or more activities are delayed during construction. Consequential damages affect construction projects because the owner and the contractor have to document the activities that led to the consequential damages in order to be able to either justify or not justify whether a contractor is entitled to consequential damages when an activity has been delayed during construction.

Answer to Question 2

The organization that oversees the development of international standards is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). There are many stages, or processes, that occur before a standard becomes an international standard. The processes for developing standards vary from country to country and from one standard developing organization to another. Once an organization has developed a standard they submit it to the ISO for review and possible inclusion as an international standard. A professional society, or association, is not able to directly submit their standards to the ISO for consideration. An official representative to the ISO has to submit standards from organizations within their country. The United States has only one official representative to the ISO, which is the American National Standards Institute (NIST).
