What is a Prolongation Claim?

A prolongation claim seeks compensation for costs incurred due to project delays caused by events outside the contractor's control. These costs may include extended site management, overheads, equipment hire, labor costs, and other associated expenses.

Prolongation claims are usually made under contract provisions such as FIDIC, NEC, or JCT when delays are deemed excusable and compensable.
