THE CLIENT & REQUIREMENT
The client required a prolongation claim to be established, substantiated and submitted, demonstrating entitlement arising from delay events.
THE CHALLENGE
Demonstrating entitlement required establishing the relevant delay events and notice requirements, proving their impact on the critical path and overall project duration, and substantiating the additional time-related costs incurred.
OUR APPROACH
We carried out a detailed review of the contract to establish entitlement and identify the relevant delay events and notice requirements. Project programmes, correspondence, site records, cost information and contemporaneous evidence were analysed to demonstrate the impact of the events on the critical path and overall project duration. Additional time-related costs — including site management, supervision, preliminaries, plant and overheads — were assessed and substantiated, and a clear link was established between the delay events, the resulting extension of time and the additional costs incurred.
SERVICES PROVIDED
A comprehensive and fully supported prolongation claim was prepared and submitted for assessment, with a clear link established between the delay events, the extension of time and the additional costs incurred.
