Construction claims rarely begin during construction. They usually originate earlier in unclear contract documents, evolving design responsibility, and unmanaged project risk. This article explains how EPC projects prevent disputes before entitlement arguments ever arise.

Introduction Quantity disputes rarely start as overt conflicts. They develop gradually during project execution. As drawings evolve, quantity estimates often remain provisional. Construction progresses even before the design is finalized. Unit rates or lump sums are agreed upon, and work continues. However, quantities adjust quietly, discipline by discipline and interface by interface. Initially, these changes may seem harmless. Payments continue, and progress is made. There’

A practitioner-led explanation of how construction claims are actually proven. Moving beyond checklists to cause, effect, entitlement, and substantiation in real EPC projects.

Why EPC contractors Teams Lose Entitlement And How to Prevent It

By Jinoy Viswan, CEO , Aegis Project Management Consultancy, Dubai The Language of Time Every project speaks a language.Schedules are its grammar. Updates are its punctuation. Progress is its story. When delay occurs, that language begins to fracture.Sentences break. Meaning disappears. Analysis becomes translation. Delay analysis, at its best, is fluent in both languages: the language of planning and the language of reality. At its worst, it speaks in numbers no one understa
