Most contractors recover the time and lose the money. This session is about closing that gap.

By the end of the session, you’ll know:

• The two-stage architecture of every EOT and prolongation claim – and why running only one stage costs you the money.
• The six heads of recoverable prolongation cost, and what evidence the principal will demand on each.
• When Hudson applies, when Eichleay applies, when Laan applies – and which formula Australian courts will actually accept.
• The five defences principals run against prolongation claims, and how to answer each one before you serve.
• The five operational traps that destroy otherwise good claims – and the project-level discipline that prevents them.
• What recovery looks like in practice – day rates, quanta, resolution paths.
