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 All

1-      Once the Contractor has submitted an Interim EoT Claim

2-      The Engineer has accepted that to review

3-      Responds to the contractor that the claim is being reviewed

The contractual / revised finish date is considered withhold / null & void (can no more be considered as Contractual).

Is the above statement right? Either case please provide some reference and evidence if possible

Cheers - Tanveer

Dear Mr. Tastro

I apologize on words in my post “please provide some reference and evidence if possible” as your words are always a reference, at least for me. Thank you very much for your guidance.

Cheers - Tanveer

Hi Tanveer

The latest contractual completion date stands until a further EoT is awarded.

This is a fundamental rule in construction contracts.

Remember that the sole purpose of EoT clause(s) is to protect the employer's right to deduct LD's if he delays the works.

If there are no EoT clauses to extend the completion date for Employer's mistakes then time is at large.

Again this is a fundamental principle based on Acts of Prevention.

Best regards

Mike Testro
