Answered: NEC ECS: How to build a global claim

This is a great question to play "spot the errors" with.

Can I summarise with a list of errors:

1. There is no such thing as a global extension of time claim
2. Contractor shouldn't give the Subcontractor a programme - Subcontractor should create their own programme in line with the Contractors requirements
3. Three week look ahead programmes are not the same as issuing a full programme for acceptance.
4. Not sure what a global programme is but assume it is a "full" programme and that should not take until month 5 to issue
5. Contractor should have responded with acceptance/non-acceptance and Subcontractor should have chased
6. there is no such thing as an "extension of time" - you need to show what the effect of individual compensation events has been on planned Completion on the Accepted Programme.
7. There is no such thing as a deadline date that can not be moved.

You have no choice but to go back to the original programme and try to justify what the effects of individual compensation events has been progressively on the programme.

Easy to say now but neither party should have allowed to get into this state.
