    EOT claims deal with situations


    where delays have occurred
    due to various reasons, such as
    design changes, weather, or
    unforeseen conditions.
    Contractors may request
    extensions of time to complete
    the project, often accompanied
    by additional costs.
    3. Delay Claims

    Delay claims focus on


    addressing project delays,
    which can lead to increased
    costs, disputes, and potential
    legal action.
    Parties involved in the project
    may seek compensation for lost
    time and increased expenses.
    4. Scope Changes

    Scope changes pertain to


    modifications in the project's
    original design or work
    requirements
    Understanding and managing
    scope changes is essential to
    prevent misunderstandings and
    cost overruns.
    5. Price Escalation Claims

    Price escalation claims arise


    when costs for labor, materials,
    or other resources increase
    unexpectedly
    Contractors may request
    additional funds to cover these
    increased costs.
    6. Defects and Quality Claims

    These claims deal with issues


    related to work quality, defects,
    or non-compliance with project
    specifications
    Parties may request corrections
    or compensation for rectifying
    defects
    7. Payment Disputes

    Payment disputes revolve


    around disagreements over the
    amount, timing, or validity of
    payments in the contract
    Resolving payment issues is
    crucial to maintain trust and
    project progress
    8. Force Majeure Claims

    Force majeure claims arise from


    unforeseeable events or
    circumstances that disrupt
    project progress
    Parties may request extensions
    or modifications to contracts to
    account for these events
    9. Disruption Claims

    Disruption claims involve


    situations where the project's
    progress is significantly
    hindered or disrupted due to
    various factors
    Parties may seek compensation
    for losses resulting from such
    disruptions
