Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Can we include and claim loss of efficiency due to uneconomical working in our prolongation claim because this efficiency of labour, equipment etc is also effected due to delay in completion of works ?

You may be talking about a disruption claim. That is, due to a great number of variations to a contract a loss of working efficiency has occured due to the disruption in works and inability to plan the job.

Due to this disruption costs cannot be assoicated with individual contract variations. The result is usually submission of a global type claim.

Global claims are becoming more accepted than they once were.
