Delay & Entitlement Support
Entitlement to time is won or lost while the project is live — in the baseline, the records and the notices, not months later. EngiTech builds and maintains the programme so your entitlement is protected as the works proceed, and hands over a clean, analysed evidence base if a matter ever escalates.
What's included
Entitlement protected while the project runs
This is the natural output of building the programme and running the controls. The same records that keep delivery on track are the records that substantiate time — so entitlement is captured as it happens, not reconstructed once it is disputed.
- Baseline integrity and programme records built to substantiate time
- Contemporaneous progress and as-built record-keeping
- Early-warning and delay registers maintained as the project runs
- Notice awareness — flagging when a contractual time bar or notice period is running under FIDIC, NEC, JBCC or GCC
- Fragnet preparation and prospective time-impact assessment of instructions and variations (e.g. FIDIC Sub-Clause 13.3 instruction impact analysis)
- First-pass EOT entitlement position and delay narrative for submission
- Independent review of a contractor's programme or delay submission
- A structured evidence pack prepared for handover to an attorney, QS or appointed delay expert
Prepared to standard, as the works run
Records and analysis are built to the Society of Construction Law (SCL) Delay and Disruption Protocol and AACE practice while the project is live — so the evidence already exists when it matters.
- The standard the programme and records are held to, from day one
- Methods chosen to suit the records and the contract
- Evidence captured contemporaneously, not rebuilt after the fact
Approach
Time protected, step by step
Set the baseline right
A programme and record structure built to substantiate time from the first day on site.
Keep the record live
Contemporaneous progress and as-built data, with early-warning and delay registers maintained as the works run.
Flag time as it moves
Notice periods and time bars tracked; instructions and variations assessed for prospective impact before the effect lands.
Hand over clean
A structured, analysed evidence pack ready for your appointed expert if a matter escalates — nothing to reconstruct.
Where EngiTech fits
EngiTech provides contemporaneous programme and entitlement support while your project is live. If a matter proceeds to formal dispute, EngiTech works under and alongside your appointed delay expert and legal team — the person who built and maintained the programme, now supporting the people who present it.
That continuity is the point: your evidence base is prepared by someone who was there, not rebuilt by a stranger after the fact. This is planning and project-controls support — not formal legal advice.
Who this is for
Protecting time from every side of the project
Contractors & subcontractors
Protect your entitlement as the project runs, instead of reconstructing it after the fact — baselines, records and notices kept in order from the start.
Developers, employers & Engineers
Independent, contemporaneous review of contractor programmes and delay submissions — an early, honest read on time risk.
Attorneys & QS practices
A clean, analysed programme evidence base prepared for your appointed expert. EngiTech supports the appointment — it does not compete for it.
Protect your time before it's contested
The cheapest entitlement to defend is the one recorded properly while the works were live. Let's set the programme up to do exactly that.
