Claims & Delay Strategy

Everything on this site about extension of time, delay analysis, concurrency, notices and the SCL Protocol — organised in one place, from the foundations through to demonstrated case studies.

Three things are kept distinct throughout, because conflating them is how claims fail:

  • Contractual entitlement — what the contract and the governing law allow.
  • Delay-analysis methodology — how effect on completion is demonstrated from the record.
  • Professional opinion — informed judgement, clearly labelled as such.

Foundations

The concepts everything else rests on.

What is an Extension of Time?→ Delay vs Disruption→ Critical Path Analysis→ Who Owns the Delay?→

Delay-analysis methodology

How the analysis is actually done — and how method is chosen.

Forensic Delay Analysis — the workflow→ How a Delay Is Measured (AACE methods)→ Prospective vs Retrospective Analysis→ Delay Analysis (expertise)→

Concurrency & causation

The area that decides most difficult claims.

Concurrent Delay, Simply→ Who Owns the Delay? (risk allocation)→

Notices & evidence

Where strong claims are won — or quietly lost.

Notices and Records→ EOT Review Framework (checklist)→

The SCL Protocol, in practice

The standards-anchored, plain-English series.

What the SCL Protocol Solves→ Delay vs Disruption (SCL)→ Extension of Time (SCL)→

Demonstrated

The methodology, applied and tested.

291 → 64 days — EOT determination→ 426 → 91 days — forensic delay→ Extension of Time (expertise)→ Construction Claims & Strategy→

Educational commentary on delay-analysis principles and the SCL Protocol. It is not legal advice, and it does not determine contractual entitlement — outcomes depend on the governing contract, the project records, the applicable law and appropriate professional advice.
