EOT Claim Readiness Checker

What is an EOT claim?

An extension of time (EOT) claim is used to request more time when qualifying delays affect project works or completion dates. The specific requirements depend on your contract: notice periods, supporting records, and programme impact all matter when preparing correspondence.

This checker does not prepare a formal claim or confirm entitlement. It helps you see whether your delay record includes the basic information teams usually gather before issuing formal correspondence.

What does this checker assess?

This free readiness check reviews common record-keeping areas, including:

• Delay notice status and contract notice timing
• Delay cause and affected works
• Programme or schedule impact
• Supporting evidence you already have available
• Mitigation steps taken on site

What information helps support an EOT claim?

Useful delay records often include:

• Clear description of the delay event, date, and estimated duration
• Affected works and ongoing impact
• Notice records and contract notice timing checks
• Programme or schedule impact references
• Supporting evidence such as photos, site diary entries, dockets, and correspondence
• Labour, plant, and dayworks records linked to the delay
• Mitigation notes where steps were taken to reduce impact

Why evidence matters

An EOT claim is stronger when delay records are supported by contemporaneous evidence: photos, delivery dockets, site diary entries, programme references, and daily labour or plant records. This tool lets you indicate what evidence you already have without uploading files, so you can see gaps before formal follow-up.

How DelaySolve helps after the readiness check

Readiness is only the start. DelaySolve helps you track delay events, evidence, labour, plant, costs, dayworks, and claim-ready records in one place, so site records stay linked from the field through to commercial follow-up.
