Delay event identification
Cataloguing of each delay event with date, cause, contractual entitlement category and supporting evidence.
Billing & Claims
EOT Preparation
Extension of time submissions built on programme evidence — delay event, notice record, critical path impact and mitigation demonstrated — rather than on narrative appeals.
Overview
Why this matters on your contract
An extension of time claim is decided by records created months before anyone writes it. The notice served within the contractual period. The baseline programme that was credible. The delay log kept while the delay was happening. Where those exist, a legitimate claim is usually approved. Where they do not, no amount of persuasive writing recovers it.
We prepare EOT submissions that demonstrate rather than assert: this event occurred on this date, notice was served here, the critical path moved by this many days, and this is the mitigation that was attempted. Where the record has gaps, we say so and build the strongest defensible position from what exists.
What you receive
- Formal EOT submission document with quantified entitlement
- Programme exhibits showing baseline, as-built and impacted schedules
- Delay event register with evidence references
- Notice compliance schedule
- Support through assessment, meetings and determination
Scope
What the service includes
Every element below is covered as standard. Anything outside it is quoted separately and agreed before we begin.
Notice compliance review
Verification that notices were served within the contractual period, and assessment of the position where they were not.
Critical path impact analysis
Demonstration of how each event affected the driving path, using time impact or as-planned versus as-built analysis as appropriate.
Concurrency assessment
Honest analysis of concurrent contractor-caused delay, because an unaddressed concurrency argument will be raised against you anyway.
Mitigation evidence
Documentation of steps taken to mitigate, which is a requirement under most conditions of contract and frequently overlooked.
Claim submission pack
Complete submission with narrative, programme exhibits, evidence appendices and a quantified time entitlement.
Our Approach
How we do this differently
01
Programme evidence, not narrative
Assessors approve demonstrated critical path movement. They discount arguments about how difficult the project was.
02
Concurrency addressed head-on
We assess concurrent delay ourselves and deal with it in the submission. Ignoring it simply lets the other side frame it.
03
Prevention alongside claim
We identify the notice and record failures that weakened this claim so the next one on the same contract is stronger.

An EOT grants additional time and relieves liquidated damages. Prolongation costs are the additional money for extended site presence. They are separate entitlements — we prepare both, but the time claim must succeed first.
Typically three to six weeks depending on contract length and record quality. Where the baseline and as-built programmes must first be reconstructed, longer — that reconstruction is usually the bulk of the work.
