Udemy – Construction Claims: EoTs, Delay Analysis and Variations

Claims are where contractors either protect their margin or give it away. Most professionals learn claims the hard way — through disputes, rejected variations, and missed notice periods. This course gives you the structured approach before that happens.

You’ll learn how to identify entitlements, prepare bulletproof claims, and navigate the process from contract baseline through to settlement — whether it’s a variation, an EOT, or a disruption claim. We’ve helped over 35,000 students grow their construction careers with practical, industry-focused training that delivers results.

This course is:

• Proven — Thousands of students with 94% reporting improved confidence or job performance
• Practical — Built by real construction professionals, for use on real projects
• Efficient — Learn the essentials fast without unnecessary fluff
• Resource-Rich — Includes templates, slides, and materials you can use immediately

We actively respond to questions and continually improve our content based on student feedback.

What You’ll Learn:

• The reality of claims in construction — why they exist, why they matter, and why most contractors leave money on the table
• Defining claims and entitlements — understanding what you’re actually entitled to under the contract
• Establishing contract baselines — the reference point every successful claim depends on
• Proposed variations — how to identify, notify, and price changes to the scope of works
• Claimed variations — turning a proposed variation into a contractual claim when agreement isn’t reached
• Extension of Time (EOT) and the critical path — how delays create entitlements and how to prove them
• Delay analysis methods — the techniques used to demonstrate and quantify project delays
• Calculating the cost of delay — turning time into dollars with defensible costings
• Acceleration claims — what happens when the programme is compressed and who pays for it
• Disruption claims — the hardest claim to prove and how to build a case that holds up
• Best practices and common mistakes — the patterns that separate successful claims from rejected ones
