First of all I would request that we all shall make sure that spelling mistakes or typo errors are eradicated prior to posting questions.

Regarding the issue of the Engineer being unfair, the whole notion of having standardized Conditions of Contract is to make sure that justice prevails and served to all parties involved in any given Contract.

as rightly said by Mr. Stella above "prepare a cost valuation related to prolongation of the project and timely notice the Consultant about your claim.

Some contract administrators are of the view that submission of a well documented extension of time claim is a condition precedent to the contract administrator’s obligation to grant an extension of time.

 

If the contractor fails to submit relevant details to the contract administrator then the latter is not obliged to evaluate the contractor's claim or at the very least delays in granting an extension of time until the relevant information has been submitted. Contractors often view this as a delaying tactic by the contract administrator or even accusing the contract administrator of not carrying out his impartial duty to evaluate for the contractor's entitlement to extension of time especially where delays are caused by the employer.

Above all, you shall prepare a cost valuation related to prolongation of the project and timely notice the Consultant about your claim.
