 MY APPROACH-
 Joined Unique Engineers Pvt Ltd. in Oct 2018.
 The Project was directly awarded to M/s UEPL
from M/s AAI.
 Due to delay M/s AAI was withholding the
payments due to delay in project.
 Management involved me to get the EOT
certified and final bill closure to get the final
payments.
 Interface between client & civil contractor to get
the EOT approval and final account
reconciliation.
 MY ACHIEVEMENTS
In absence of justification of delay from client and other contractors ,the
provisional EOT’s was issued and amount was withhold against the
delay from the running bill.
In Dec 2018 the extra and deviated items statements was shared with
client for the approval and same was approved by client in Jan 2019.
In order to my role, the biggest problem was the EOT approval from
client to get the withhold amount release and in April 2019, the final
EOT was submitted to the client for approval with all evidence and
justification for the delays.
During the preparation of EOT, it has been observed that based on the
actual schedule submitted to client the completion date was Sept 2017,
and maximum all the major material was delivered at site till July 2017
and due to delay in work front and site clearance from client end, the
installation and commissioning got delayed.
In order to approval various commination was done and EOT got
approved in March 2020 from Client.
In EOT the additional claim of Rs. 34,79,557.00 against the additional
cost paid for supervision charges and based on request from AAI the
withdrawn letter for claim was submitted to AAI.
