Extension-of-time claims built around entitlement, causation and evidence.

A credible extension-of-time claim must do more than list events and calculate days. It should identify the contractual basis, comply with notice and substantiation requirements, explain actual impact on the controlling programme and deal transparently with contractor-risk delay and concurrency.

Singapore-based. Regionally experienced.

Constructive Advisory provides independent construction claims, delay, programme and dispute support from Singapore for matters across Asia-Pacific and other international regions.

A proportionate scope built around the decision.

  • Contractual entitlement and notice matrix
  • Delay-event identification and categorisation
  • Programme and critical-path analysis
  • Cause-and-effect narrative development
  • Concurrency and contractor-risk review
  • Record-gap and substantiation assessment
  • Claim drafting, review or rebuttal

Evidence first. Method second. Conclusion last.

01

Establish entitlement

Identify the relevant contractual event, notice requirements, time bars, assessment provisions and milestone definitions.

02

Build the evidence

Create a structured event record linking instructions, access, design, procurement, progress and contemporaneous communications.

03

Demonstrate impact

Explain how the event affected the controlling sequence and distinguish delay to activities from delay to completion.

04

Present a usable claim

Provide a concise executive case supported by detailed analysis, transparent assumptions and navigable appendices.

Practical answers before the first discussion.

What makes an EOT claim persuasive?

A persuasive claim aligns the contract, timely notices, reliable programme analysis and contemporaneous records. It also addresses contrary evidence, contractor-risk delay and concurrency rather than ignoring them.

Should every delay event be claimed separately?

Events should be separated sufficiently to explain entitlement and causation, but the presentation must also address interaction and cumulative effects. Artificially isolating events can obscure how the project actually progressed.

Can a claim be improved after submission?

Usually yes, subject to the contract and procedure. The best approach is to identify missing evidence, unsupported assumptions and unclear causal steps, then issue a disciplined revision rather than simply adding volume.

Do you act for both claimants and respondents?

Yes, subject to conflict and engagement checks. Independent analysis benefits from understanding how claims are prepared, assessed and challenged.

A clear first discussion can save significant time later.

Share a brief outline of the project, claim or dispute. Initial enquiries are treated in confidence and remain subject to conflict and engagement checks.
