Hello Everyone,
I am running a mid level project covering HVAC, Electrical & Fire Protection as a Sub Contractor.
The client issued a stop work notice last November via the contractor to put any further work with the internal partitioning and layouts of the building on hold. They engaged a new company to design new layouts etc which have become available for the contractor to start work in late March. THe services now have to be re designed using the original equipment (stored on site)with additonal design requirments for areas not covered in the original design and contract.
Q.
The stoppage or delay is undeniably client based and I need to enter a claim to the main contrator for prolongation.
I’ve not done one before but my initial research suggests that depending how far I believe I can go with what I can claim is based on the circumstances and imagination in what can be argued as a cost by the very competent QS they have employed..
Is there someone who can assist me in how to start on this. Is there a set format to follow on what items can I recover ie having expat staff on site during this delay, what plant etc and how to itemise it out.
I’d appreciate any help.
Regards
steve
