Take heed of what they both said - (David & Stuart). Put in the notice of delay (always put in the notice) followed by a claim for delay and disruption to the work items identified - idling / non-sequntial / storage whatever (collectively called the "buggeration factor".
On a more pinickity note I would a close look at the impact of missing doors and windows to the follow on tasks - finishes such as painting ironmongery etc as these would be now be impossible to complete - moisture content yadayadayada .....
As David points out, an EOT is granted in regard to the end completion date and not to in regard to individual activities. Consequently, if – and only if – the extent of delay in the activities quoted is sufficient to shove the CP out past its original completion date, would a claim for EOT be allowed. It doesn’t matter whether the extension to the CP was caused by one or some or all of the delayed activities; it is the overall effect of the delayed activity/ies on the CP that is measured and used to quantify the claim.
The other side of that same coin, of course, is that if the CP isn’t impacted to the extent that the end date is moved back, you have no entitlement to an EOT claim.
In most construction contracts you can only get an extension of time as a result of a delay if that delaying event causes the works to be delayed beyond the current Contract date. If I understand you correctly the activities you cite have sufficient float and are not critical and so, even with the delays caused to them, they do not extend the period required to complete the project, therefore you would not be able to get an extension of time.
You might be able to claim for direct loss and expense as a result of the disruption to the regular progress of your work as a result of the delayed information. However, to do that you must show that, as a direct result of the delaying events, you have suffered direct loss and expense – you can’t just put in a claim because you think you have been messed around.

Anyway just my opinion
