|---|---|---|---|
| Extension of timeMoving the completion date. The four elements a time claim must establish, the five defences that beat sound ones, and where each element is taken further. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Concurrent delayFive competing definitions and nine different answers on one fact pattern. Not settled law in any jurisdiction surveyed. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Notice and time barsThe element that defeats more sound claims than the other three combined. Three incompatible philosophies, and the statutory overrides now cutting across them. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Delay analysis methods comparedSix delay analysis methods compared: what each needs, what it costs and how it is attacked, plus a chooser driven by timing, records and the contract. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Prolongation and delay costsThe money gateway. Compensation runs to the period the effect was felt, not to the weeks at the end of the job. | Construction / Claims | August 7, 2026 | |
| Records and evidenceWhich records support which analysis method, and what tribunals actually punish. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Delay notice templates for AS 4000, FIDIC 2017 and CCDC 2Six letters: the AS 4000 delay notice and EOT claim, the FIDIC Notice of Claim and fully detailed Claim, and the CCDC time and money notices. Plus when each clock starts. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| How to write an EOT claimEight steps from reading the contract to submitting the claim, a claim document outline you can copy, and the reasons EOT claims most often fail. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| EOT claim readiness checklistEight groups to tick off before and after you submit an extension of time claim: contract, notice, records, causation, concurrency and float, quantum, the document, and follow-up. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Extension of time in England and WalesJCT 2024 and NEC4 give time only through the contract. Prevention is a default rule, concurrency is unsettled, and adjudication decides most disputes. | Construction / Claims | England and Wales | October 13, 2026 |
| Concurrent delay in England and WalesTime but not money: Malmaison, Walter Lilly, Adyard and Thomas Barnes, contracting out after North Midland v Cyden, and the Scottish split. | Construction / Claims | England and Wales | October 13, 2026 |
| Notice and time bars in England and WalesWhen an English notice clause is a condition precedent: DBS v TCS, Steria and Multiplex, the JCT time and money split, and the NEC4 8-week bar. | Construction / Claims | England and Wales | October 13, 2026 |
| Prevention principle and time at large in England and WalesA default rule the contract can displace. Why time is rarely set at large in England, and the recent cases that let the argument go to trial. | Construction / Claims | England and Wales | October 13, 2026 |
| Adjudicating extensions of time in England and WalesAn adjudicator can take an extension down to zero, the first decision on delay tends to bind the next, and enforcement turns on natural justice. | Construction / Claims | England and Wales | October 13, 2026 |
| Delay notice templates for JCT 2024 and NEC4Letters for a JCT delay notice, particulars, material change and loss and expense, and for NEC4 compensation events and Project Manager silence. | Construction / Claims | England and Wales | October 13, 2026 |
| VariationsScope and price. The five elements a variation claim must establish, why agreeing a value may not pay for the time it cost, and where each element is taken further. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| What counts as a variationThe scope question, and why the Privy Council held in 2026 that it turns on the contract terms rather than on how the parties behaved on site. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Written instruction and waiverYou did the work and there is no written instruction. Five regimes, five answers, and on US public work the rule is one estoppel cannot cure. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Constructive and deemed variationsThe claim for a variation nobody instructed, and why the doctrine does not exist outside the United States, only functional substitutes measured differently. | Construction / Claims | October 13, 2026 | |
| Valuation and the pricing ladderContract rates, then adjusted rates, then a fair valuation, then daywork. You may not skip a rung, and NEC4 has no ladder at all. | Construction / Claims | September 26, 2026 | |
| Change order releasesImpact claims die in signed change orders, not in tribunals. The reservation language that works, and two citations the commentary gets backwards. | Construction / Claims | October 6, 2026 |
