Construction Claims

Justify entitlements for Extension of Time on Construction Claims

Successful Projects’ Claims consultants provide expert advice on Extension of Time (EOT) Claims, prepare Delay Claims and Counter Claims, prepare Expert Reports and act as Expert Witness.

Expert Advice

We have extensive knowledge in commercial and contract frameworks, along with forensic claims analysis, and a thorough understanding of the dispute resolution process in construction.

For Contractors

We are often engaged by Contractors to assist in planning and monitoring the construction works and assist with entitlements to claims when necessary. We determine the method of analysis to present the claim, prepare the extension of time claim and the associated claims for prolongation costs, disruption claims and acceleration claims.

For Principals

We are also engaged by the Principal to provide support to Project Superintendents for the review and assessment of Contractor programmes against contractual requirements. We review the extension of time claim, determine the method of analysis to review the claim, perform delay analysis, prepare counterclaim, prepare expert witness report and also act as expert witness.

0
Claims Assessed*

In the past 12 months we have evaluated 105 Extension of Time (EoT) claims. These claims ranged across asbestos contaminated soil removal, latent conditions, inclement weather, design changes, procurement delays and more.

0
days claimed

A total of 3,522 days were claimed for extension of time* with an average of 34 days requested per EOT event to extend the completion date of the contract.

0
days incorrectly claimed

Using our delay analysis techniques and construction expertise, we determined that 1,812 of the claimed days were unjustified. On average, only 16 days per EOT event were reasonably claimable.

0%
of days claimed reduced

Of the 3,522 days claimed, we reduced the total by 51% (or 1,812 days). While the full delay event is often claimed, we objectively evaluate the status of the work and any concurrent delays at that time.

* These statistics are based on our engagements by the Principal to support Project Superintendents in the review and assessment of EOT claims. We determine the appropriate method of analysis, perform delay analysis, prepare counterclaims, draft expert witness reports, and also serve as expert witnesses.
