Frequently Asked Questions

Excusable delay events are delays caused by circumstances beyond the contractor's control. Common categories include severe weather, force majeure, owner-directed changes, differing site conditions, and third-party delays. This template helps you document each event with the evidence needed for claims.

The calculator uses the event type, contract delay provisions, and documented impact duration to estimate entitled time extensions. It cross-references notice requirements and identifies whether each event is compensable (time + money) or non-compensable (time only).

Yes. The template is designed specifically for claims documentation. The evidence strength scoring helps you identify gaps in your records, and the timeline view creates a clear narrative for delay claims presentations.
