Thanks for your comment ,I refered to FIDIC and to the contract and you are absoultely right.
I tried to tell my managment to suspend the works , but they disagreed with me because we are dealing with a client that could give a lot of projects in the future.
my question is, in this situation ; how I can start claiming an EOT and prolongation costs knowing that a notification letters sent to client several times.
Check the details of your contract. Given that the owner's primary obligation is to make timely payments, standard form contracts like FIDIC red book typically entitle (and even encourage) the contractor to suspend work when payments are delinquent, then claim for delay and cost of the suspension. That process leaves little room for dispute. Absent a suspension of work, however, the contractor's rights to claim for the impacts of cash flow disruption may be limited (e.g. to charging of interest). Good luck, tom
