It is well known that the prime reason for construction claim rejections and disputes is poorly written and presented claims. A comprehensive claim package should demonstrate the cause & effect, contractual entitlement, and common-sense analysis along with contemporary records and particular details. We, The Six Consultancy undertake all types of cost claims.
Variation is an event that changes the nature of the project. A variation could be addition of a new scope or deletion of the part of the base scope work, change in the ground conditions stipulated in the Geotechnical report, changes to the contract documents and many more. In most of the cases, a variation resulted in an additional cost, additional time or both to the contractor. We determine the true impact of the variation event and prepare successful claims to ensure your right under the terms of the contract and common law.
The contractor is entitled to request to an extension of Time for Completion of the Contract for the Excusable Delays. Excusable delay can be either compensable or non-compensable. The compensability will be determined with reference to degree of what the concurrent delay involves. We prepare and present prolongation cost portion by accounting concurrent delay scenarios.
This is applicable when the contractor is requested to accelerate the work to mitigate the potential delays or to complete the project earlier than initially planned. In such circumstances, the contractor is entitled for additional payment to compensate the extra cost due to extended working hours, increased plant and labor and loss of production etc.
Disruption claims refers to loss of productivity of resources due to cause of disruptive event. Disruption is loss of productivity, disturbance, hindrance or interruption to a Contractor’s normal working methods, resulting in lower efficiency. In the construction context, disrupted work is work that is carried out less efficiently than it would have been, had it not been for the cause of the disruption. If caused by the Employer, it may give rise to a right to compensation.
