Claim deadline calculator

Missing a claim notice can cost a contractor its entitlement. Find the dates that apply to your event, in both calendars.

The contract
The dates

Or the date you should have become aware. Time runs from awareness, not from when the event ended.

Fill in the details, then press Calculate.

Read this with your contract

  • FIDIC 2017: notice 28 days and detailed claim 84 days from awareness. FIDIC 1999: notice 28 days and detailed claim 42 days. These are the general conditions.
  • Your particular conditions may change these periods, and Ethiopian public works contracts may follow different forms. Your contract decides; use “My own time limits” when it differs.
  • This is a date calculator, not legal advice. Give notice as early as you can, and take advice on any claim of real value.
