Course Agenda

This two-day workshop offers an in-depth exploration of the various types of construction claims and the practical methods to handle them effectively. On Day 1, the focus will be on Extension of Time (EOT) claims, including understanding different types of delays, delay analysis techniques, handling concurrent delays, and the implications of key contract terms like “Time is of the Essence” and “Time at Large.” Participants will gain clarity on how EOT impacts both contractors and employers.
Day 2 delves into more complex claim types such as Prolongation, Disruption, and Acceleration claims. Attendees will learn to quantify prolongation claims, calculate overhead costs, and understand their entitlements under Indian contracts and international frameworks like FIDIC. The session will also cover the critical differences between delay and disruption, methods to measure productivity loss, and the calculation of associated costs. In acceleration claims, the focus will be on distinguishing between mitigation and acceleration, along with cost quantification and understanding bonus clauses.
The workshop concludes with best practices for the presentation and substantiation of claims, including procedures under FIDIC, timelines, the concept of time-barring, and understanding complex topics such as Force Majeure vs Frustration, Global Claims, and admissibility of claims in EPC contracts. Each topic is supported by real-life case studies, examples, and interactive assignments to ensure practical understanding and application.
