I have a situation here and I need your Expert opinion for this case:
For the Case EOT granted to cover the variations instructed by the Engineer, I believe that the Contractor is not entitled for any prolongation cost (which should include site overhead + head office overhead) unless there is a concurrent delay, which it should be analyzed to prove that the delay caused by the client is predominant.
Now my question is:
1- how to prove that the delay by the Contractor is predominant?
2- For the head office, Some formulas can be used (for example Hudson formula), but for the site overhead, actual cost should be paid, so, how to segregate such actual cost of general requirements (site overhead) which assigned for the variations instructed from those assigned to other main works which have been already in delay and completed within the EOT.
Thnx
