But simply having a penalty clause in the agreement does not automatically protect the society if nobody continuously monitors when the clause becomes applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RedevelopOS\u2122 can help link important contractual dates with actual project performance. If an agreed milestone, OC date, handover date or financial obligation is delayed, the system can help the society identify the number of delayed days and maintain supporting project records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives the managing committee a clearer factual basis for discussions with the developer and professional advisors. Instead of trying to reconstruct the history of delays months later, the society can maintain a chronological record as the project progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A penalty clause is most effective when the society knows exactly when a delay began.
