Home / Services / EoT Claims & Delay Support
Preparation and substantiation of Extension of Time claims, compensation events and ongoing delay support under NEC, JCT, FIDIC and bespoke forms. A properly supported Extension of Time claim must establish the relevant event, its effect on completion and compliance with the applicable contractual process. We bring the programme analysis, project records and claim narrative together into a clear and coherent submission.
When this service is required
Notices, particulars or compensation event quotations are due, and the entitlement position needs to be established and protected while records are still fresh.
ContemporaneousThe events, the programme impact and the contractual entitlement need to be brought together in a single, coherent, properly referenced submission.
Claim preparationThe claim needs strengthening: better causation, a tested completion impact, or a clearer narrative before escalation is considered.
Claim developmentWhat the work answers
Which events caused delay to completion, what entitlement follows under the contract, and what should be submitted, when, and in what form.
NEC · JCT · FIDIC · Bespoke forms
The work identifies and characterises the relevant events, assesses their effect on the programme and completion, reviews the available supporting records and prepares the resulting time submission. Where the project remains live, support may also include contemporaneous EoT or compensation event programmes.
The work also identifies notification, time-bar and contractual compliance issues for consideration by the client and its legal advisers.
What you receiveApproach & controls
NEC compensation events are generally assessed using the prospective mechanism prescribed by the contract. Retrospective claims are assessed against the actual project history and records. The analytical approach is selected according to the applicable contractual mechanism, the question and the information available.
Analytical approaches and reference framework
Technology-assisted workflows accelerate programme comparison, change detection and chronology preparation. Automated findings are verified against the source records, and every material conclusion is reviewed by the responsible specialist. See our approach for the full method.

Not necessarily, but the position should be reviewed promptly. The consequences depend on the contract wording, the relevant event, who was required to notify it and what communications were issued. We can prepare the event and notice chronology, identify the apparent programme consequences and highlight matters requiring advice from the client's legal team.
It depends on the number of events, the state of the programme records and the contractual mechanism. The scope is staged: a preliminary review establishes what the records support and how long a full submission will take, before you commit to it.
Contract documents, accepted and updated programmes, notices, instructions, progress records, correspondence, meeting minutes and evidence relating to the relevant events. The precise request will depend on the project and contractual mechanism.
Yes. Early involvement can help establish the programme position, identify the records that should be preserved and prepare contemporaneous submissions before the evidence becomes fragmented.
The delay analysis can identify the relevant periods and provide the time findings required for a separate quantum assessment. The precise scope of any cost or prolongation work should be agreed at the outset.
