What evidence supports an extension of time (EOT) claim?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
You need solid proof for an EOT claim. Look for things like delay notices, correspondence with the client, site photos, and meeting minutes. Documented weather events and any changes in scope also support your case.
Key points
- Delay notices and correspondence are key.
- Site photos help show impact.
- Meeting minutes can back your claims.
- Document weather events and scope changes.
Gather all relevant documents that show how delays happened. Track communications with the client and any site issues that affected progress. The more evidence you have, the stronger your claim will be.
