Construction claims guide
Extension of Time Claim Guide
A useful EOT claim connects the contractual event to the affected work and the time impact with a clear, contemporaneous evidence trail. This is general workflow guidance, not legal advice; always check the signed contract.
Start with the event and notice record
Record when the event occurred, when it became known, who was notified, how notice was served and which signed-contract requirements need professional confirmation.
Connect cause to programme impact
Preserve accepted programmes, updates, progress records, instructions and correspondence. Explain the affected activities, sequencing consequences and mitigation without overstating what the evidence proves.
Build a review-ready submission
Use an executive summary, chronology, factual and contractual basis, causation analysis, mitigation record, requested extension, evidence schedule, assumptions and reservations. Every material statement should point back to supporting material.
Turn the guidance into a controlled project record
ContractingClaims keeps sources, events, missing information, drafts and versions together for professional review.
