EOT Claim Readiness Checker

Check whether your delay record has the basic information needed to support an extension of time claim. This free tool helps you identify missing notices, evidence gaps, programme impact issues, and practical next steps before preparing formal correspondence.

This tool provides a general readiness check only. It is not legal advice and does not confirm entitlement under your contract. Review all notices and claims against your contract requirements.

Your details
Project details
Delay event

Example: Concrete delivery was scheduled for 7:00am but arrived after 10:00am. The crew and plant were unable to continue the planned footing pour while waiting for supply.

Is the delay still ongoing?
Notice status
Has a delay notice already been issued?
Was the notice issued within the contract notice period?
Cause / responsibility
Programme impact
Did the delay affect planned works?
Did the delay affect the critical path or completion date?

If you are not sure, select “Not sure”. This tool is designed to identify gaps, not force a technical delay analysis.

Have you recorded the programme or schedule impact?
Evidence available

Do not upload evidence here. Select the records you have available so the checker can assess how complete your delay record is.

Mitigation
Did you take steps to reduce or manage the delay?

Next: see your readiness score, summary, and how to strengthen your record.

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.

Track delays with evidence, costs, and dayworks

Log delays on site, attach evidence, cost labour and plant, and keep claim-ready records — built for civil subcontractors.
