What is an extension of time (EOT) in a subcontract?

Delay damages are then counted from the new date, not the original one. So an EOT is usually worth more to you than any argument about the charge. What people call an EOT claim is mostly paperwork, and the paperwork decides it. First, notify the delay once it becomes apparent, in the form and to the person your subcontract names. Then send particulars: the cause, the dates, the work affected and your estimate of the effect on your completion date. Update them as things change, and keep the records that prove each one. Some subcontracts make the notice a condition of any extension, so a late notice can lose the time altogether. An EOT gives you time, not money. The cost of the delay is claimed separately, as loss and expense or by whatever route your subcontract gives. Where your own delay runs alongside your main contractor's, you may get the time but not the money. How many days an event is worth is for a programming expert.
