In the world of projects, delays are almost inevitable. However, when it comes time to submit an Extension of Time (EoT) request, the process can quickly become complex—especially when it’s met with rejection.
If you’ve ever had to deal with EoT requests being rejected or delayed, you know how frustrating and stressful it can be. The contractor identifies a delay event, uses the standard Time Impact Analysis (TIA), submits the request, but the Owner either fails to respond or outright rejects the request.
So, what happens next? How do you address the EoT rejection and get back on track?
This is where you can make a difference—and we’re here to show you how!
Join Chris Carson a renowned thought leader with over 40 years of experience in project controls and delay analysis, for this exclusive masterclass that will arm you with the knowledge and practical tools needed to navigate EoT rejections and secure approval for your requests. Chris is one of the primary authors of the Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis recommended practice and has helped numerous organizations successfully manage complex delay situations.
In this 90-minute, value-packed masterclass, you’ll learn:
- Why EoT requests are often rejected, and how a standard Time Impact Analysis (TIA) might not be enough.
- How to build a stronger case for your EoT request and improve your chances of getting it approved—even after a rejection.
- The importance of proper documentation and what specific details to include to convince the Owner of your entitlement.
- How to approach the situation from a strategic standpoint, maintaining clear communication and addressing concerns before they escalate into disputes.
- Actionable insights on working with owners and stakeholders to resolve issues quickly and avoid unnecessary delays in the project timeline.
- How to handle the negotiation process, focusing on resolution and moving forward with the project, even after a rejected EoT.
- Some recommended educational resources for further education in Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis
- How you can claim 1.5 PDUs or 0.15 CEUs towards your professional accreditations.
This session is a must for contractors, owners, and project professionals dealing with the critical challenge of EoT requests. Whether you’re handling the technical side of delay analysis or managing stakeholder relations, this session provides you with valuable tools and strategies to navigate this common project hurdle effectively.
