    can't you just adjust all your labour calendars to have Friday off, re-run your schedule, and this will tell you your EOT claim?

    Hi Shahul

    It is important to differentiate the difference between calendar and working days wjen describing cause and effect of a delay event.

    The duration of a delay event could be either a working or calendar day duration depending on the nature of the event.

    If it is a delay arising from a late preceding activity that is already on the programme then it should be the same calendar as the delaying task.

    If it is a late delivery of materials that is not on the programme then a 7 day week calendar would be more appropriate.

    The delay effect is always expressed in calendar days.

    Best regards
