Give Suggestions to Claim

Clive



I totally agree with your contention that the claim should be submitted asap rather than it become Time Barred and you may loose your entitlement in delaying your Claim submission

Hi Kumar,



File your claim for extension of time and related cost. Please do so go for it.



The facts are very clear.



12 zones schedule to complete 9 months.



site possesion only two zones, with minor additional work, duration nine months.



After nine months or nearly after nine months, clearance to other 2 zones



It is very clear the near months almost finish. No way can you finish the other zones in nine months the original schedule.



Forget whatever documentation, blah blah blah. Throw to the client your claim for extension of time and associated cost. The most important thing is to act.



Come back to the forum for further guidance.



Cheers,



Charlie

I do not accept Impacted as planned analysis ro collapsed as-built, when reving any EOT cliam. both os these two methods has fatal drawbacks.



My opinion, only Time Impact Analysis donr in windows basis is what gives accurate and correct justification to the case.



Sorry for not giving much details, I’m just too busy now, i’ll try to clarify later.

Hi,

I have like to have some doubts to be cleared in claim preparation:

1. I made a claim for an EOT by Impacted as planned method with a clause 14 approved schedule and was awarded some time.When I want to make EOT again, can I still use the impacted as planned method or should I go for a Window analysis method ?

2. After obtaining an EOT by impact as planned method, should the next schedule updates be made on the EOT approved schedule or on the schedule that I was updating prior to the EOT ie approved clause 14 schedule?

3. Also since the impact as planned method is a theoretical method, I feel that this method can be used only once for making a claim; am I correct or not?

Please help me on these issues.

hi, u have to read the contract very well in order to get a detailed scope of works then refer to your baseline schedule and compare it with the additional works (if any) and then make your claim based on that.

Hi

need some clarification on contract in your case ?



is there a agreed baseline programme? if yes then you need to

Incorporate the additional time required for additional work

Make a comparision on when the access dates where required in the baseline programme and when u have received it.

reissue the programme with additional work and the impact of the this delay.



However i am not clear why nobody raised this issue till 9 months ?

When preparing claims the important things you need are documents to prove that.So start with documents which specify site hand over dates(client to contractor), minutes of meetings(where these are documented, regular updates of schedules submitted to the client through references, any letters or correspondences relting to this etc. Once you sort out all the related documents, prepare a revised schedule with start milestones corresponding to the documents with ref. and link it FS to the related activity in the schedule and see where the end date moves to and you can claim for the diff. from the orig. contracual finish till the new finish date.

All,



What we need is some more detail.

There is perhaps scope for beneficial occupation by the Employer on a sectional basis even when no sectional completion is contemplated in the Contract.

Karthik,



Simons right, there appears from what you say lots of potential in this one.

Yes, this is probably a basis for claim. However, without the contract language you can’t really say.



What does the contract say about Owner-caused delay? Did the Contractor inform the Owner of the impending troubles associated with the delay? Are there any agreed-upon methods to calculate delay costs included in the contract?



You’re about to have some fun! :)
