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.

Dear Sanjeev,

if what you are looking for is pertaining to the formulae for calculation and recovery of home and head office overheads, there is a rather lengthy but comprehensive article written by J G Zack fro Fluor USA, which I found rather useful.

Pls download from

www.icoste.org/ZACK.pdf.

I mean the indirect cost not direct like (materials) in pursuant to clause 70 of FIDIC. Indirect cost such as headoffice expences, overheads, fixed cost like camps and time related such as insurnace, manpower etc.

Thanks

sanjeev

Sanjeev,
Do you mean time related direct costs?

Usually, indirect costs – also sometimes called consequential damages – are not normally allowed!

However, direct costs that are time related to an EOT are usually allowed.
If you can clarify this point, we may be able to move forward.

Cheers,

Stuart
