Delay Claim Analysis
1. Delay Claim Summary Identified
- Activity: Raft Foundation Concrete Pour – Block A (Activity Code: STR-A-RF-001)
- Claimed delay period: 12 Aug to 20 Aug 2025 (8 calendar days)
- Reason: Delay in receiving approved structural drawings (Rev. 03)
- Claimed financial impact: ₹96,000
(8 days × ₹12,000/day idle equipment + labor)
2. Cross-Verification with Project Records
Multiple datasets were analyzed:
- Design approval log: Drawing approved on 14 Aug → 2-day actual approval delay
- Daily progress reports: Actual pour executed on 17 Aug
- Material delivery log: Ready-mix concrete delivered on 17 Aug
- Observation: There is a 5-day gap (14–19 Aug) between approval and execution not attributable to design delay
→ Indicates contractor mobilization / planning delay.
3. Verified Delay Assessment
| Category | Days | Period | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eligible delay | 2 days | 12–14 Aug | Verified and attributable to delayed drawing approval |
| Non-eligible delay | 5 days | 14–19 Aug | Caused by contractor mobilization lag |
| Recommended settlement | ₹24,000 (2 days × ₹12,000/day) | ||
Supporting evidence includes:
- Design approval timeline
- RFI response dates
- Daily progress log
- Material delivery schedule
- Site progress photos
4. Final Response Summary
Draft complete – includes:
- Breakdown of contractor's claimed 8-day delay
- Verified 2-day design approval–related delay
- Identification of 5-day non-eligible delay and reasoning
- Calculated eligible settlement: ₹24,000
- Evidence-based justification aligned with project controls
- Professional narrative suitable for negotiation
- Options to review, edit, approve, or export the response
Data Verification Results
I've verified the project data against our records and found the following:
Verification Summary
- Contract value matches our records: ✓ Verified
- Schedule milestones are consistent: ✓ Verified
- Resource allocation matches approved plan: ⚠ Minor discrepancies
- Budget figures match financial system: ✓ Verified
Note: There's a 5% variance in equipment allocation that needs reconciliation.
Would you like me to update the resource plan based on these findings?
