Solvix International provides extension of time assessment services for employers, contractors, subcontractors, developers, project managers, funders, insurers, and legal teams who need an independent view on time entitlement. We turn contract clauses, programme data, contemporaneous records, delay events, and project chronology into a clear opinion on whether additional time is due and, if so, for how long.
An extension of time assessment is a coordinated review of contractual entitlement, delay causation, programme criticality, contemporaneous records, notice compliance, and mitigation. Solvix approaches EOT matters with both a project-controls lens and a disputes lens so the analysis is commercially practical and technically robust.
In many construction disputes, the challenge is not simply the absence of data but the absence of structure. Critical information is spread across correspondence, schedules, notices, progress updates, payment records, meeting minutes, instructions, and technical documents. Solvix helps turn that fragmented material into a disciplined narrative and evidence base that legal teams can work with effectively.
Our methodology is built to withstand scrutiny from project stakeholders, contract administrators, expert teams, and dispute forums. The precise approach varies by contract form, available records, and programme status, but the core logic remains consistent: establish the contractual basis, identify the event, test schedule effect, consider concurrency and mitigation, and issue a reasoned opinion.
Identify extension of time provisions, notice mechanisms, compensation links, and contractual tests.
Review the accepted baseline, updates, progress snapshots, and milestone logic relevant to the event.
Align notices, instructions, approvals, minutes, and correspondence into a factual timeline.
Test whether the event affected completion directly and whether float or alternate sequence changed the outcome.
Consider overlapping causes, pacing arguments, mitigation steps, and acceleration measures.
Issue an independent conclusion on entitlement and highlight strengths, weaknesses, and key risk points.
Strong EOT opinions depend on the quality of project records. We work with the available record set while also identifying evidential gaps, conflicting narratives, and procedural weaknesses so clients understand both the strength of the time case and the vulnerabilities that may be challenged.
An extension of time assessment is an independent review of whether project delay events entitle a contractor or subcontractor to additional time under the contract. It considers the contract wording, notices, project records, programme effect, critical path, concurrency, and mitigation.
An EOT assessment is useful when an extension request is being prepared, reviewed, defended, negotiated, or determined, or when delay issues may later develop into adjudication, arbitration, or litigation.
Not always. Some matters can be assessed through a focused contractual and programme review. More complex disputes with contested causation or multiple overlapping events may require deeper delay analysis.
Key records usually include the contract, accepted programme, programme updates, notices, instructions, progress reports, design release information, approval logs, meeting minutes, site records, and delay-event correspondence.
Yes. The same structured methodology can be applied to prepare a claim, evaluate a submitted claim, respond to an opposing position, or advise on the strength of the time case before formal proceedings.
EOT assessment focuses on time entitlement under the contract. Delay analysis may provide a deeper programme-based view of causation and critical path effect, while disruption analysis addresses productivity loss and inefficiency rather than only completion delay.
