BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to project delay claims, with practical knowledge of event chronology, programme impact and responsibility for the period of delay. A UAE construction delay claim should explain which event affected completion and how the programme changed. A request for extra time and a claim for additional money may require different contractual and factual support.
A UAE delay claim requires an event-to-programme analysis under the construction contract and applicable civil framework. An extension of time and money for prolongation are different requests; critical delay, notices and overlapping causes need evidence rather than a calendar subtraction. Compare the baseline programme, actual progress, event notices and mitigation records. Overall lateness alone does not identify the event, responsible party or time effect claimed.
We agree the work your matter needs: Seek a justified extension where the event affected completion under the contract. Prolongation money needs a separate entitlement and cost case; if causation is contested, obtain a programme analysis before negotiating a global delay figure. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A delay chronology and entitlement issues note separating time relief from financial claims and identifying programme or notice evidence gaps.

Service content updated:
No. Compare the programme, actual progress, alleged delay events and contractual notices. Identify cause and effect and any overlapping delays. The required technical analysis should support the particular period claimed rather than simply state the completion overrun.
No. A time decision does not by itself establish every cost claimed for that period. Explain the contractual money basis, causal event and actual additional expenditure, including costs avoided or attributable to another cause.
Identify each cause and its effect before attributing the whole period to one party.
