Mastering Claims, Delays & EOT

Time Extension Requests: Preparation and Defense

Every Time Extension Request must stand on its own merit, thoroughly analyzed, and meticulously documented. It should be robustly substantiated, leaving no room for doubt regarding its validity. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles and techniques involved in the preparation and defense of Time Extension Requests. Participants will gain deep insights into the fundamental concepts of delays, including how to track and mitigate them effectively. 

Key topics include:

⦁ Establishing and analyzing the baseline schedule.

⦁ Assessing the impact of delays on project timelines.

⦁ Formulating strategies to address and resolve delays.

The course will also deliver a step-by-step guide to preparing a detailed Extension of Time Request. This includes addressing associated prolongation and disruption costs, ensuring that the request is both technically sound and persuasive. Through this program, attendees will enhance their ability to navigate complex scheduling challenges, presenting well-founded and credible extension requests with confidence.

Unique Competitive Advantage of This Course

This course offers an unparalleled competitive edge by incorporating a hands-on approach through a real-world case study project. Participants will actively apply the claims techniques learned during the course, transforming theoretical knowledge into actionable expertise.The case study is designed to enable participants to develop the critical documents and deliverables required for effective claims preparation and defense.

These include:

Document and Correspondence Compilation

⦁ Identifying, collecting, and organizing all relevant project documents and correspondences.

Chronology of Events

⦁ Crafting a comprehensive events timeline, accompanied by discussion points tailored for project managers.

Event-Specific Templates

⦁ Developing reusable templates for team discussions and client clarifications, ensuring consistency and clarity for each event.

Supporting Documentation

⦁ Drafting substantiating letters to provide robust evidence for each identified event.

Extension of Time (EOT) Log

• Creating a structured log that consolidates all essential data related to EOT claims for easy reference.

Master Primavera Influence Schedule

⦁ Preparing a comprehensive influence schedule that integrates all identified delays and events.

Event-Specific Primavera Schedules

⦁ Developing individual Primavera schedules to illustrate the impact of each of the events on the project timeline.

Detailed Claim Narrative Report

⦁ Producing a persuasive narrative report that clearly documents project delays and supports the justification for claims. This practical, case-based methodology ensures participants gain not only technical knowledge but also the confidence and expertise to tackle real-world claims challenges effectively.
