I need your expert opinion on the method to analysis a claim from consultant side:
The firefighting system design for the building was delayed by almost 18months. Affected successsor activities are the final finish items. Meantime, there was considerable delays from contractor in activities not related to this issue (concurrent delays).
My approach is as follows:
Scenario 1: Update the baseline with data date as the date when design was issued, with all activities not related to fire fighting as completed as planned, F/F activities (and successors) not started. (Engineer delay)
Scenario 2: Update the baseline with data date as the date when design was isuued, with all F/F activities (and successors)completed as planned and other activities as per actual progress. (Contractor delay)
Conclusion if scenario 2 exceeds 1, EoT as per scen. 1 excusable and non-compensable.
Is this approach contractually right?
Regards
