Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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 Mai,

This is a very nice article about Claims. It is only 8 pages, but is it packed with information about the things that you need to consider.

With kind regards,

Dear Mai,

Read the Conditions of Contract and get a copy of the Deliverables.

Read the Submitted claim and open a separate section for each design phase.

If the Conditions of Contract identifies the milestone and deliverables for each design phase, and the review process, then that is good. Otherwise, you have to read carefully the correspondence during the project, and check who did what, when and why.

If the Concept Design was not agreed during the early stages of the design, then the product at a later stage will not be approved by the client.

It seems like a management issue that has developed because of poor communication.

Can you tell us what EXACTLY is the request of the Engineer.

With kind regards,

Samer

Hi:
The engineer is making the claim against client.
The nature of issue that the engineer has revised a part of design 3 times , but every time in different point.
Lump sum agreement, that u can say each stage of design phase under a different percentage of total amount.
My role in the claim , to prepare a full detailed report to the client

Hi Mai

More information is required.

Who is making the claim against whom?
What is the nature of the claim - Late Issue - Negligent Design etc?
What is the form of contract?
What will be your role in the claim?

Best regards
