EOT CLAIMS

The construction industry is complicated by natural, involves too many


parties (Client, Consultant, Main contractors, Sub contractors, and
Suppliers), also having a lot of constraints you have to take in your
consideration and deal with (Time – Budget- scope –Risk- Resources –
Quality – Customer satisfaction)

Therefore, each one of the involved parties does not want to lose any
additional money or time rather than the project original budget.
Accordingly, when something goes wrong during the project life cycle, one
or more parties of the project will raise dispute to prove which fault is it.
Yes. It is as simple as this. However, the real battle starts when the
dispute begins. The winner who could prove that the mistake was not
his/her fault and s/he was a victim of this mistake and he deserve
compensation (Time, Money, or Both).

Because of the delays whatever the reason of it, any delay produces an
“Entitlement”, your role is to protect and defend your rights. This applies
in both cases (contractor side or the client side).

In this article, we will try to give you some important information about
Claims in general and EOT Claims as the most type of claims in
construction industry, that will help you to play the role of the company
Guard, defend/get Entitlement for your company

1. What is Claim?
Claim doesn’t mean problem, simply in planning engineer. (Our Company)
we define Claim as an application or request for any entitlements or rights
reference to the contract.

Claims is the contractual method that you can get or defend on your rights
with specific procedures and steps, it simply organizes the way for request
and approve any entitlement between the contractor and the client.

in the construction project, you may be one of the following:

any entitlement, you may have as per the contract with the employer
and make analysis for any delays, check the delays impact on the

time schedule, convert it into number of days and also prolongation


cost if any.
❖ Client Planner “Representer”: You have to review any claim
requested by the contractors and check the reason of the delays and
also check any delays impact on the project time schedule.
❖ Consultant Planner: As consultant you have to play as fair party
to review any claims from the contractors and review the delays
impact, give final decision for any claim.

4. Why EOT Claims?


EOT Claims are the most complicated claims and they are subject to huge
argument between the claim parties. Furthermore, although the extension
of time claim would increase the project duration by a certain number of
days, but once it is approved, another claim of cost will be raised based on

the EOT to recover the delays (or prolongation) costs incurred due to the
delays.
Planning Engineer has a golden rule for any EOT Claim, and we
apply this rule in all our claims preparation. Time = Money

5. Making EOT Claims Responsibility?

In planning Engineer, we believe that the Planning Engineer is the most


organized person in the construction team. Also, Planning Engineers have
the project history and of course they have the access to the project time
schedule which is the base of the EOT claim. Accordingly, Planning
Engineer should collect all relevant data from the project team and be
responsible for the final product (the EOT).

Planning Engineer is responsible for making EOT Claims as s/he has good
understanding and access of the following:
1. Project Contract Special Conditions
2. Project Contract General Conditions
3. Project Time Baseline
4. Project updates and progress
5. Project documents” BOQ – Drawings – Specifications”.
6. Communication channels
