Managing EOT Claims - Saving time and saving £s

Diales & Maples hosted a joint Breakfast Workshop on EOT Claims.

Our practical advice helped property developers, funders and their project teams to manage and resolve extension of time (EOT) claims to reduce project delay and cost. During our PowerPoint presentation, we explained how the most commonly used standard form construction contracts deal with EOT claims and how to ensure you protect your contractual rights, followed by a Q&A.
