Why good claims fail
Most claims are not lost on entitlement. They are lost because the notice went out late, because nobody kept the records that would have proved causation, or because the delay analysis fell apart under the first serious question. The right existed. The evidence did not.
What you will be able to do
By the end of this course you should be able to:
- notify in time, and recognise when a late notice has already destroyed entitlement
- build a delay analysis you can defend, and explain why that method and not another
- separate disruption from delay and measure it credibly
- assemble a quantum case line by line, with the records that support each line
What it covers
- The contractual routes — JCT Relevant Events and Relevant Matters, NEC4 compensation events, FIDIC in outline, and the subcontract forms services packages are actually let on
- Records, notices and time bars, including condition precedent and the subcontractor time-barred by the chain above them
- Delay analysis: impacted as-planned, time impact, as-planned versus as-built, collapsed as-built, windows and time slice — and how to defend the method you chose
- Concurrency, float ownership, prolongation and the testing and commissioning tail
- Disruption: establishing it, and measuring it by measured mile when there is no clean baseline
- Quantum — labour, plant, head office overhead, loss of profit, finance charges and claim preparation costs

Common questions
Who is it for?
Commercial managers, quantity surveyors and estimators on mechanical, electrical and public health packages — whether you are making claims or receiving them.
How long does it take?
There is no fixed length. It is 95 written lessons across 18 sections, and most people work through it over a few weeks alongside the job rather than in one sitting.
Is there a certificate, and does it count towards CPD?
No to both. This is training material, not a qualification, and it is not accredited by any awarding body. If you need a certificate for a professional requirement, this will not provide one.
How long do I keep access?
That depends how you buy. Bought outright, this course is yours permanently — one payment, no renewal, and revisions are included. On a subscription that covers it, you keep access for as long as the subscription runs, and access ends when you cancel.
