Section II
Background of the claim
The present Claim relates to an extension of time for the remodeling of ******, belonging to
Contract Package ******.
Under the contract, ****** was to be completed within 10 months from 19.2.2007, i.e. by
18.12.2007. Subsequently, the completion due date was extended to 31.1.2008 for the 10th to 13th
floor and 31.3.2008 for the rest of the building as per the MOU effective date 20 August 2007.
The Contractor is claiming extension of time arising due to what it terms as delaying and disruptive
events, variations and design changes (modifications).
On May 19, 2008 the contractor submitted first letter including 26 events in wh****** 13 cases are
understudy by the contractor himself and 13 other cases with supporting documents for PMO
review. A workshop meeting was held to discuss the contractor submission in wh****** PMO
highlighted that the event description is not defined and the documents are not properly submitted
and that the claim events cannot be analyzed according to the baseline schedule.
On July 16, 2008 the contractor submitted a model package and evidence for claim event no.1
without any analysis (integrated kitchen event).
On August 10 & 20, 2008 meetings were held between PMO and the contractor in wh****** the
contractor was advised to prepare an as-built schedule as the contractor has never submitted updates
for the baseline schedule as per the contract. This is to enable the contractor and PMO to study
properly delay events submitted by the contractor.
On October 30, 2008 the contractor submitted claim for 3 delay events including the model event
previously submitted for PMO review. The cases are:
1- Ground floor due to change of conceptual design.
2- Basement due to change of conceptual design.
3- Integrated kitchen as per client request.
The Contractor had made their claim under the cover of their letter dated 19.11.2008 under clause
44 of the contract.
The Contractor has framed his claim in the alternative. The Contractor claims that in accordance
with contract conditions clause 44.1 and clause 44.3, “Project Manager shall determine the amount
of such extension and shall notify the contractor accordingly” and that “Project Manager shall
make an interim determination of extension of time”.
On November 26, 2008 the contractor submitted another 3 cases for PMO review, the cases are:
1- BMS system. 2- FM200 system. 3- CCTV system
The PMO replied via its letter dated 27.11.2008 stating that the Contractor till date failed to submit
required contemporary documents along with relevant schedules to focus on the actual time impact
in accordance with the contract and that the contract does not stipulate any time frame for PMO to
determine any unsubstantiated time extension claim by the Contractor.
The contractor was requested to submit all the required claimed items with updated as-built
schedule and supported documents to enable PMO to study the claim and determine the time
extension if any.

Section V
Analysis
In order to properly determine an accurate delay responsibility and periods, PMO did not only
studied the impact of the submitted delay events by the con tractor but also reviewed, studied and
compared the partial as-built schedule and the MOU schedule both submitted by the contractor.
The analysis is divided in to 3 parts as following:
Part I: Analysis of the Contractor’s submitted delay events.
Part II: Reasons of delay occurred in the as-built schedule and its responsibility.
Part III: Comparison between finish dates of the As-built and the MOU schedule.
Part I: Analysis of the Contractor’s submitted delay events.
Analysis with respect to the individual events is as follows:-
Case#1 – Integrated Kitchen Cabinet and Marble
1.01. Summary of Contractor’s Claim
The contractor submitted a list of evidence for Integrated Kitchen Cabinet Chronology shown the
event effective date was 13 December 07 (according to ****** Site visit).
The Contractor prepared partial as-built schedule updated [01 December 2007] as base to calculate
the delay. This update schedule originally projected a completion date of 08 July 2008.
Seven (7) new activities were inserted in this progress update to simulate the effect of the delays of
Integrated Kitchen. The effect of the simulation resulted in a completion date of 31 August 2008.
The Contractor as such claims that he is entitled to an extension of time of 53 Calendar days.
1.02.1 PMO’s Observation and Review
On 24-Nov-07 PMO confirmed the official comments carried out by ****** for ****** site visit in
7 & 8 Nov. 07 for the mock-up rooms to change the type of kitchen to integrated unit.
As there isn’t updated program submitted by the contractor during this period, the contractor
submitted a partial as-built schedule up to 1st Dec. 07 built on the last revised schedule submitted by

Part II: Reasons of delay occurred in the as-built schedule and its responsibility.
The Contractor’s as-built schedule has a finish date of 8 July 2008 instead of the project planned
finish date agreed on within the MOU of August 2007 wh****** is 31 March 2008.
Accordingly, PMO studied the reasons that the partial as-built schedule is already projecting a
delayed finish date prior to simulating any of the contractor’s submitted delay events.
PMO investigated all the project aspects and concluded that part of delay reasons are the following
activities wh****** are part of the engineering works activities that are concerned with the shop
drawings and materials submittals (contractor responsibility).
These activities were extracted from the MOU project schedule (1209).
These activities were selected with criteria that they had to be submitted within the period of
signing the MOU and the date of producing the partial as-built schedule.
The following table is showing the selected activities

The selected activities are divided into 2 sections, section 1 (*) is concerned with activities planned
to be submitted and actually have been submitted within the period of signing the MOU and the
partial as-built schedule data date. Section 2 is concerned with the whole of the selected activities.
Section 1 (*): PMO inserted the actual submission dates for the selected activities in the MOU
project schedule (1209) to simulate its impact on the schedule finish date.
The impacted finish date is 28th July 2008 instead of the 31st Mar 2008 wh****** is later than the
partial as-built finish date (8th July 2008) and later than the impacted finish date after introducing
the excusable delay events (table “A”) submitted by the contractor (22nd July 2008).
Section 2: PMO inserted the actual submission dates for all of the activities (table “B”) in the MOU
project schedule to simulate its impact on the schedule finish date.
The projected finish date is 5th March 2009 wh****** is later than the partial as-built finish date (8th
July 2008) and later than the submitted project finish date within the contractor total claim (1st
March 2009).
Page 45 of 48
Part III: Comparison between finish dates of the As-built and the MOU schedule.
PMO also reviewed the activities of the submitted partial as-built schedule (ASUP) and noticed that
there are several delays that are attributable only to the contractor for example but not limited to the
following:
1- Activities concerning 10th to 13th floors were delayed from Jan 31st, 2008 till May 10th, 2008.
2- All HVAC and plumbing activities in all floors are delayed as they have an actual 0%
achievement compared to a planned 100%.
3- All engineering activities are on delay.
4- Construction activities in the 13th floor show delay from 31-3-08 till 26-5-08
8- The above mentioned floors from 10th to 13th are submitted in the schedule to be having a
planned finish date of 31-3-08 instead of the planned finish date agreed on in the MOU
project schedule (1209) of 31-1-08.
Section VI
Page 46 of 48
Findings & Conclusion
Findings
The Project period is 10 months beginning from Feb. 2007 till Dec. 2007, on Oct. 2007 a
Memorandum of Understanding MOU was signed between the Client and the Contractor to modify
the finish date to be on the 31st of January 2008 for floors from 10th to 13th floors and the 31st March
2008 for the rest of the building, this has been included in the MOU project schedule (1209).
PMO, in light of the submitted partial as-built schedule and without considering the delay period
generated in the submitted as-built, studied and reviewed the delay events submitted by the
contractor.
PMO used the partial as-built schedule (ASUP) as submitted by the contractor and simulated the 6
delay events as in the previous section; the analysis showed effects on the schedule and projected a
finish date of 16 August 2008 instead of the as-built end date of 09 July 2008.
The delay period is 39 days.
Table “A” shows the effect of the contractor delay events on the partial as-built schedule up to
1st Dec 2007 as follows:
Effective Delay
Case Case Description
Date Duration
1 Integrated Kitchen Cabinet and Marble 13 Dec. 07 20
2 Ground Floor (Conceptual Design Change) 13 Dec. 07 13
3 Revised Architectural Plan for Basement Floor 21 Jan. 08 6
4 Providing of BMS specification 28 Nov. 07 0
5 Providing of new Fire fighting system FM200 specification 28 Nov. 07 0
6 Providing of CCTV system specification 01 Dec. 07 12
Conclusion
Accordingly and without prejudice to the said arguments concerning the submitted MOU project
schedule and the partial As-built schedule, PMO finds that the Contractor can be entitled to 39 days
extension of time.
However, PMO could not grant the contractor a period of extension of time as the review of the
submitted schedule shows that there may be concurrency between delays attributed to the Client
with those attributed to the contractor.
Such concurrency can be determined by studying the project as-built schedule that can be submitted
by the contractor in order to provide PMO with proper information to determine and decide any due
extension of time and responsibilities of delays.
