Practitioner guides for every workflow ControlsIQ carries — contract mechanics and programme forensics first, then where the platform takes each step. Written for QSs, planners and claims professionals.
From the delay event to a defensible Extension of Time submission: entitlement, the Sub-Clause 20.2 clock, records, analysis method, and how to structure the claim.
The 28-day Notice of Claim is where entitlements die. What counts as awareness, what a valid Notice must contain, the follow-on duties, and the Particular Conditions traps.
A DCMA 14-point assessment read contractually: what each check means, the thresholds, and why a clean programme is a claims asset long before any dispute.
The Particular Conditions outrank the printed form. How to build a clause-by-clause amendment register, which amendments decide claims, and how to use the register at claim time.
The programme is a contract deliverable, not just a planning file. Parsing P6 and MS Project natively, lifting milestones into a Key Dates Register, and keeping both honest at every update.
Updates hide drift. Comparing two programmes properly — finish, duration, float, logic, effort and cost variance — and turning what moved into attribution rather than argument.
A delay claim must show completion moved, on the critical path, because of the event. Longest-path tracing, correlating events to windows, and handling concurrency without hand-waving.
A register that lives with the programme, probability and impact set honestly, and Monte Carlo outputs — S-curve, tornado, pre vs post mitigation — read as decisions, not decoration.
