Claiming EOT

Dear Planners,

Once an EOT is approved, it is practical to apply immediately to the schedule. How about the planned progress of the project, this would mean also a revision of plan based on the revised completion date caused by the EOT?

 

 

thank you,

Hi Yakubu

1. Recorded information is the key to proving entitlement to an extension of time. Your ideal record should show precisely Who did What When Where for every day of the project. A site diary will usually state "14-Nov-13 Plasterers on site" which is completely useless. Better is "14-Nov-13 6 Plasterers on site Level 4 West Wing". Best is "14-Nov-13 UTID PlasL4W - Plastering - 6".

2. Time Impact Analysis as defined in the SCL Protocol 20002 is Step 1: Update the programme immediately before the event impact - note the completion date - Step 2: Impact the event - note the completion date - Step 3: compare the progreesed and the impacted completion date to ascertain time entitelment and concurrency.

3. At every time that an event causes a delay to the progress of the works.

4. All the records that are relevant to the case.

5. Don't just make a note - every time the client misses a milestone or issues late instructions or issues late design or does not delivery free issue materials or blocks access to the site or does not instruct provisional sums or - - - - - - etc send a contractual notice of delay.

Best regards
