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.

Hi Madan

The point of recovery of costs following an EoT is to put the contractor back in the same position costwise that he would have been but for the delay.

It is not a permit to recover all the cost over runs that have been incurred which may have many causes other than the delay.

Costs in respect of an EoT are the actual EXTRA costs paid out during the period of the delay event and then only for the duration of the extended end date.

I hope this helps

Best regards
