EOT Claim

hi:



Sure dear Oliver the contract is the vital document use to determine any party rights / entitlements.

I have assessed design claims , basically final endorsement must be based on the actual start and finish dates ,the variance between the planned bars and actual will be used in analysis the claim ,now in light of your case and since u have continuous event the interim payments will be the best thing u go for it and once u get actual finish final determination should be , now to protect ur right at the end of the day keep sending notifications , proper correspondence and record will be so useful.



thanks.

Hi Oliver



As you say - it does depend on what the contract says.



Samer is quite right but his advice seems to stem from the FIDIC route.



Normally you would be entitled to recover the extra costs incurred during the EoT period with some contribution to overheads but no profit.



This would normally be added to the interim payments.



I trust this helps



Best regards

Dear Oliver,



Usually the Claims are settled after the event is over. Forecasts are good, but they are not real until it takes place.



It seems that you have a good situation and the client is paying.



Yes the claims are settled for actual cost incurred only. If you don’t have proof, then the Engineer’s estimates are used. And if the Contractor objects, then they go for settlement of the dispute.



With kind regards,



Samer
