Extension of Time & Delay Claims
Their delay should extend your time, not your penalty
When a job runs late, the first question is who caused it. Late drawings, a site not handed over, delayed payments, stuck approvals: these are the department's delays, and they should extend your time. We build the record that proves it.

Questions
Extension of Time & Delay Claims: common questions
Usually not. We rebuild it from letters, emails, site diaries, photos and bills.
Under CPWD-type contracts, amounts generally should not be withheld from bills only in anticipation of an EOT decision. Your exact contract decides it, so send it to us and we will check.
