Claims Assisment (retrospectively)

Any help guys???

Thanx

anybody out there??

In order to do proper assisment of any claim for EOT the following have to be fulfilled;-
*A summry report for all the events have to be prepared and suumitted

*notified the client officially for the exist of the said delay events and request his instruction to solve the problem in specific date.
*Follow the subject with the client’representative periodically.
*write to the client aout the status of the works and the nigative impact of the exsisting delay events on the planned works.
*Call for exceptional and action meetings with the client to solve the prblem.
*submit a weekly updated progress report showing the impact of the exsisting delay events on the programme of works.
*submit your official notifiction of your intention to submit claim based on the condition of contract.
*A summry report for all the delay events have to be prepared and suumitted.
*analize every and each delay event separetly and impose the effect of each event in the updated proramme using te actual startind and finished dates and the % completed .
*study the time impact for each delay event separetly.
*study the time impact for all the events together on the updated work programme.

*submit the impacted programme with all details and other supporting documents.

Thanx Amr for ur response,

I agree totaly with what u said (has been done), except ur last point "study the time impact for all the events together on the updated work programme",

these event have not occured on the same time , they were along the project duration , and now project finish date was due so which updated program u mean??

If,thos delay events have not occured on the same time and they were along the project duration you can do the following:-
*For each delay events you have to submit official notification to the client and reserve your right to claim for EOT and associated costs.
*If, you do not like to submit separate claim for each delay event at the time of occurence(which is logic due to the diffeculties in preparing a claim with all the history, details and supporting documents,so, you can collect a group of delay events at considrable period and submit the impact of thos grroup of delay event at specifif data date .
*So, at the selected data date, do up date for the work programe use the actual start date and actual finish date and the actual % completed foe each activities.
*From the above updated programme you can show the impact of thos group of delay events and you can submit your claim for entrim EOT at specific data date taking into consideration that any delay events ,variations or addetional works may happend afer the said data date shall be studied and claimed separetly.
*At the end of the proect ,you can collect all delay events,addetional works and variations and study the impact of all thos events on the last up dated appproed progamme.
*The total granteed EOT shall be grater than or equal to the sum of all entrim EOT .

The point is , the sub-contractor did not submit any helpful date to allow the assisment and also not within the time frame as the contract reads so their claims can be rejected (contractually) but somehow this is will not be of a good vlaue to the project to apply penalties at this time,

now as u said
1- if incorporating these delays on a certain data date and the result were 60 days(behind) , where the same updated program (monthly) resulted 40 days (behind) before incorporating delays, meaning the E.O.T is 20 days

is that what u mean???

if yes, what about the 40 days delayed already due to lack of resources at the same data date??

If incorporating these delays on a certain data date and the result were 60 days(behind) , where the same updated program (monthly) resulted 40 days (behind) before incorporating delays.
this means that the contractor is entitle for 60 days EOT with associated cost for 20 days only.
i.e for time we have to grant the contractor the complete duration including the period of concurrent delay ,but to evaluate the cost ,we have to deduct the cost of the concurrent delay period.

GOOD LUCK.
