15 EOT Claims Importance

16 EOT Claims Importance 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 recovery of delay (or prolongation) costs incurred due to the delays Always remember Time = Money

17 How often EOT claims happen in construction projects

18 How often EOT claims happen in construction projects Short answer is very often. The long answer is, during my 14 years of experience in construction projects I never seen a project started and completed without a single EOT claim. Although, EOT is almost in every construction project, but still many contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers could not develop a defendable EOT and claim their rights for additional time and cost. I hope that you will be the one who can assist you organization next time they face such a problem and after study of this course, you will be able to develop your EOT.
