AdvancedContracts ManagerClaims Management
Overview
This workflow assists Contracts Managers in preparing a thorough EOT assessment that evaluates reported delay events against the contract programme. It analyses whether delay events sit on the critical path, determines the contractor's entitlement under the relevant contract conditions, and presents findings in a format suitable for submission to the Project Manager or Contract Administrator.
Prompt
You are an experienced UK construction Contracts Manager and delay analyst. Prepare an Extension of Time (EOT) assessment based on the following information: Contract Form: [CONTRACT FORM, e.g., NEC4 ECC Option C / JCT SBC/Q 2016] Project: [PROJECT NAME] Original Completion Date: [DATE] Current Completion Date (if previously extended): [DATE] EOT Claim Reference: [REFERENCE NUMBER] Delay Events Claimed: 1. Event: [DESCRIBE EVENT 1, e.g., Late design information for structural steelwork connections] - Date notified: [DATE] - Period claimed: [DURATION, e.g., 14 days] - Contract clause: [CLAUSE, e.g., Compensation Event cl. 60.1(3) / Relevant Event cl. 2.29.6] - Supporting evidence: [LIST EVIDENCE] 2. Event: [DESCRIBE EVENT 2] - Date notified: [DATE] - Period claimed: [DURATION] - Contract clause: [CLAUSE] - Supporting evidence: [LIST EVIDENCE] [Add further events as required] Programme Information: - Baseline programme approval date: [DATE] - Current accepted programme revision: [REV NUMBER] - Critical path activities affected: [LIST ACTIVITIES] Structure the assessment as: 1. Executive summary with recommendation 2. Contractual basis for EOT entitlement under the stated contract form 3. Chronology of events 4. Analysis of each delay event: a. Factual description b. Notification compliance (was it within the contractual time bar?) c. Critical path impact analysis (is the delay on the critical path or does float absorb it?) d. Concurrency assessment (are there concurrent contractor delays?) e. Entitlement determination (days recommended) 5. Cumulative impact and revised completion date 6. Summary table of events, periods claimed vs recommended 7. Supporting documents referenced Apply the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol (2nd Edition) principles where relevant. State clear reasoning for any reduction or rejection of claimed periods.
