thanks very much Mr. Mike and Hemant.

We are claiming both time and cost associated with the design changes.

The information you have provided is very informative.

Few more questions, what do you want to claim? I see two components, 1. Additional costs of design only and 2. Overhead and Profits or 3. both items 1 and 2?. the first step is to seperate direct design costs and overheads. 

There are some missing information and if i have got anything wrong please provide the same. 

1. Additionals Costs

You had already done a design once, from 03/08/2013 to 10/10/2013, a period of 68 days. It had been submitted and approved (approved part not important as long as you have done the design to the required brief). 

Your second design is from 8/11/2014 to 07/01/2015 (a period of 60 calender days). this is your additional direct design costs. 

2. Overhead costs

Instead of the initial  approval planned date of 15/2/2014 your design has been approved on the 31/7/2014. This is 168 calender days and you are entitled for the overhead costs for keeping the project live in the consultants books for this period which requires someone's attention. 

You could also claim for, keeping this project live from 20/8/2014 to 20/3/2015. 

It would be prudent to talk to your seniors to understand what they want to claim for, as it is also dependent upon your relationship with the client.

Mr. Mike,

We submitted revised plans on 7 January 2015.

If the original start date of the original design approval was 10 October 2013, what is the date for late design approval?

Kind Regards,

Hi Dimple

This does not need a full Impacted as Planned analysis.

You just shift the original start date of the original design approval to the late design approval.

You may have a problem between 8-Nov-14 when you were instructed to change and 20-Mar-15 when you got the approval.

There is at least one date missing - When did you submit the revised plans?

Best regards
