Ask any claims consultant where extension-of-time claims fail and the answer is rarely the legal argument — it's the records.
Entitlement without evidence is opinion. A claim needs to show cause (the event), effect (the delay to completion) and compliance (notices given in time). Each leg depends on records created while the event was happening, not reconstructed months later.
The practical discipline: notices logged against contract clauses with dates; a programme updated honestly every period, because a distorted programme destroys the credibility of any later analysis; daily records that capture resource, location and hindrance, not just weather.
Our Construction Claims and Extension of Time programme is built around this reality — participants prepare a full claim from a records bundle, and discover first-hand which missing record breaks which argument.
