Prolongation Claim

Hi Steve:



Loss ofefficiency and productivity are entirely two different heads and evaluation of both claims is also different but these two are integral part of a Prolongation Claim.



Moreover, there is no specific web site which contains such standard formats. These formats have to be derived internally as per Client’s requirement and nature of Claim.

Thanks Shahzad,



The sub contract agreement is with the main contractor and we are entitled to make a claim.

Is loss of efficiency and loss of productivity on site a similar item or is this mean’t to mean off site or different parts of the claim.

In looking at some of the forum questions/responses obviously the claim should be based around the programe, where we were at that point (November)in terms of work completed, what the builders position was, what material, plant etc.



As I mentioned I’m inexperienced at where to start, what to include and or if there is any specific format to follow.

and I need someone’s guidance if there are any of you who can help. Is there a site on the web that has this format

Before claiming anything under your Subcontract Agreement please consider following points:



a) It is not determined from your Statement that whether your Sub-Contract Agreement is with the Main Contractor or with the Client. Client seems to be other party to whom no concern with your Agreement.



b) Also see your Subcontract Agreement Provisions whether you are entitled to claim prolongation under Sub-Contract Agreement or not. If Yes, then your claim can be justified otherwise it will be rejected



c)If you justify (b) then you can claim loss of efficiency, loss of productivity and overheads under this head for your specified period.
