Good and clear.
If I might add a further thought, I'd say that where the Employer has failed to issue a VO or rejected a legitimate request from the Contractor for a formal VO, that rejected request becomes a claim.

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

Thanks for the add in Sir.

Good and clear informative. Please include delay analysis method

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

Have explained it in another video on the topic EOT. You can go through the same.

[@shyammohandas6293]

If its an additional scope of works such as construction of an ancillary building to the adjacent plot,will it be considered as a variation or claim?

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

It will be a Variation.

[@alvinsihombing18]

Thank you for sharing, sir. Anyway, I would like to ask a question about Variation and Claim (EOT and/or cost).
I guess any variations or changes to the Works usually impacts the original Time for Completion and/or cost. Therefore, in case there's a variation or changes to the Works and to secure the Contractor's entitlement to the Contract and applicable laws, normally the Contractor shall submit 1 (one) formal notice [only for variation] or 2 (two) notices [for variation and in further EOT+cost claim for such variation]?
Thank you.

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

The notice for variation can include eot also.

[@gianluigimarudut]

​@@QuantitySurveyingStudio So, if the Contractor have VALID variations and the Engineer/Employer acknowledges it, the Contractor does not need to submit Claim Notices?

[@mohamedzafar9340]

Does Additional work and claim are same? Because the term“Claim” we used for all the payment request purposes

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

Additional works means variation from original scope.

[@zulqarnainsatti6417]

Thanks for video. My question on which I need your insight is that if BOQ quantities differs for excavation and backfill works differ a lot and Contractor didn’t notice at the time of tendering but when contract awarded and work on site started so contractor mer with this unforeseen huge increase in quantity due to cut and fill. So now contractor is submitting his quantities based on real work executed let’s say 2 million m3 and BOQ quantities or contract quantities was 1 million m3 so what would the claim for this case. Thanks in advance

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

It will be a variation.

[@alvinsihombing18]

@zulqarnainsatti6417: In brief, it will be variations (additional works/increased quantities).

[@mohamedhaneefaashrafali]

What about damage items by others…

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

Since it is an unexpected event it can be classified as claim

[@knowledgeistospread1934]

why you dont post any more jobs in your linked in job page?

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

Was caught up with few works. Will start putting soon.

[@sameeraummer5112]

Any format for submission

[@QuantitySurveyingStudio]

Depends on companies and clients.

[@gianluigimarudut]

@sameeraummer5112: Follow your Company's standard templates. If needed, you can also adopt and modify templates from your previous companies or other sources.
