Precision Cost Management & Construction Clarity
Providing ongoing quantity surveying and commercial support across live construction projects.
Quentessential Surveying prepared a comprehensive, fully supported prolongation claim, linking delay events to an extension of time and the additional time-related costs incurred.
The client required a prolongation claim to be established, substantiated and submitted, demonstrating entitlement arising from delay events.
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.
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.
