How to Review Program Updates for TIA EOT Claims

Extension of Time submissions don’t begin with the delay event itself — they start much earlier.

Every schedule update you prepare can later become the baseline for an EOT claim, especially if you are using window analysis. That’s why consistent review is critical.

Key principles in the TIA method:

1- Treat every schedule update as potential evidence for entitlement.

2- Maintain a quality checklist to ensure updates meet contractual requirements.

3- Document client‑owned delays clearly — they strengthen your position.

4- Mitigate excessive contractor delays proactively; large negative variances weaken entitlement.

Strong EOT claims are built on disciplined program updates.

The earlier you start, the higher your chances of success.
