Windows Analysis
AACE RP 29R-03 §3.3
Divides the project into time windows defined by programme update data dates. Measures forecast shift per window. Ideal when multiple updates exist. Most widely accepted by tribunals.
🏗️
Collapsed As-Built
AACE RP 29R-03 §3.5
Removes delay events from the as-built schedule to derive what completion would have been without them. Useful where updates are unavailable.
Coming Soon
📊
Time Impact Analysis
AACE RP 29R-03 §3.7
Inserts discrete delay events into the programme to measure their individual impact on completion.
Coming Soon
📅
As-Planned vs As-Built
AACE RP 29R-03 §3.2
Direct comparison of planned vs actual dates without programme update data.

Project Intelligence — Optional but Impactful
📋
Contract Setup
Contract type, LD rate, notice deadlines, HO overhead — auto-applied throughout the entire analysis
⚡ Very High Impact Optional
▼
Auto-filled when contract type selected above
Used for Hudson/Emden HO claim. Typically 5–15%.
⚠ Estimated LD Exposure (before EOT)

Concurrency Legal Test
When concurrent delay is detected, which test applies? Affects EOT entitlement directly
⚡ High Impact Optional
▼
The dominant cause test is the most common in English / FIDIC jurisdictions. The apportionment test is required under NEC4. Selecting "Show all three" lets your legal team choose the most favourable position.
🌍
Site Location & Weather Intelligence
Auto-detect adverse weather periods qualifying for EOT under FIDIC Sub-Clause 8.5
⚡ High Impact Optional
▼
Common in GCC contracts — excluded from contractor delay liability.

Notice Compliance Checker
The #1 reason valid claims fail — check your notice dates against the contract time bar before submission
⚡ Very High Impact Fill after analysis
▼
After running the analysis, enter the date each notice was served. EOTForge checks against your contract's time bar: FIDIC = 28 days · NEC4 = 56 days · JCT = "forthwith".
Run analysis first — notice compliance table will appear here
🌪️
Force Majeure & Exceptional Events
Define any Force Majeure periods — these get EOT but typically no prolongation costs (FIDIC)
⚡ Medium Impact Optional
▼
Add any Force Majeure / Exceptional Events that affected the project. Each event will be separately classified in the delay register — neutral party, EOT-only (no costs).
Upload your reviewed Excel
Upload the Delay Causes Identified file after you have reviewed each delay event, confirmed the Responsible Party, and added descriptions. EOTForge will read your reviewed register and use it to generate the EOT Report.

Prolongation Cost Calculator
Time-related site costs during the delay period — the financial heart of any EOT claim
⚡ Very High Impact Optional
▼
Enter your weekly time-related site costs. EOTForge maps these to compensable delay windows and calculates total prolongation costs per SCL Protocol — Compensation for Prolongation.
Weekly Prolongation Rate
—
Head Office Overhead will be added automatically using the Hudson formula and the HO % entered in Step 1.
📈
Finance Charges & Escalation
Delayed projects generate finance costs and price escalation — both recoverable under FIDIC
⚡ Medium Impact Optional
▼
Used to calculate finance charges on prolonged expenditure. Reference: FIDIC Sub-Clause 14.8 / 2017 Sub-Clause 20.2.
Annual price rise in key materials (steel, concrete, labour) since contract award. Common in post-2021 projects.
