Types Of Claims

There are different types of claims which can arise during the construction projects.

Delay Claim

This is a type of claim which arises when there is a delay in the project completion. In other words, the party can claim because the project was not completed on the provided date.

Price Acceleration Claim

It occurs when the contractors are instructed to complete the work even before the actual deadline. However, there is an important thing to keep in mind that if you finish the work before the deadline with your own self-claimed efficiency, then you cannot ask for a claim.

 A claim is valid only when the employer has personally asked the contractor to speed up the work or change the deadline.

Construction claims consultants Dubai can help you be mindful of this type of nitty-gritty issues before you even claim something from the employer.

Work Order Change Claim

This type of claim arises when a new is added to the scope of work. If something additional is added to the existing scope of work which was not discussed earlier, then the claim is valid.

Different Site Condition

This type of claim occurs when the description provided on the site in the contract is different from the actual site condition.

If that is the case, then the contractor has to put more efforts and maybe require different equipment to work with the actual condition which will cost him not only time but also workforce and money.

Extra Work Claims

It is the type of claim which arises when the employer has added some extra work in the construction project which was not the part of the original contract.
For example, if the contract was to build a room, but employer asks to put a stairway on the side of the room then at that point one can make extra work claim while asking for compensation.

Damage Claim

Construction is a fuzzy work which means that there might be incidents which are damaged during the construction projects. However, contractors have to be careful regarding that, and if any valuable property or any other item is being damaged during the process, then the client can complain about the compensation for the damage. 

Contract Termination Claim

If in some ways or for some reason, the client ended the contract then the contractor is entitled to the compensation for the work that is being completed or any other effort that has been put forward by the contractor.

Payment Claims

In this type of claim, the contractor can raise the issue that payment was not made on the promised date or there was no payment at all. Also, issues like unreasonable deduction of the money or not returning the maintenance or security deposits can also be the reason for payment claims.
