Sub-Clause 20.1 (1999) and Clause 20.2 (2017) notice windows counted from the awareness date, every Particular Condition diffed against the standard form, and a clause-cited claim draft your expert signs.
FIDIC's claims machinery is procedural first. The Privy Council reaffirmed in January 2026 that Sub-Clause 20.1 of the 1999 form is drafted in classic condition precedent form: no notice within 28 days of awareness, no entitlement, however good the underlying delay. DraftMyEOT is built around that mechanism rather than around a generic document store.
The 1999 and 2017 clocks run from when the Contractor became aware, or should have become aware. The register stores both dates and computes the deadline from the one your contract names.
Gulf employer amendments routinely shorten 28 days, add condition-precedent wording, or tighten records duties. Extraction quotes your actual wording and shows it beside the standard form.
A FIDIC claim is structured with contractual basis, statement of facts, cause and effect, and time impact, each paragraph citing an evidence reference number from your locker.
Each profile pre-loads the expected notice pattern. Extraction always wins: if your Particular Conditions say 21 days, the engine runs on 21 days.
| Family | Where you meet it | What the profile expects, subject to your PCs |
|---|---|---|
| FIDIC 1999 Red Book | Gulf building and infrastructure, employer-designed | Sub-Clause 20.1 notice within 28 days of awareness; fully detailed claim within 42 days; Engineer response within 42 days |
| FIDIC 1999 Yellow Book | Design and build, plant, MEP packages | Same Clause 20 mechanics as the Red Book; design responsibility shifts which events count as Employer risk |
| FIDIC 2017 suite | Newer Gulf projects and externally funded Indian works | Clause 20.2 notice within 28 days; fully detailed claim within 84 days, with its own time-bar on the statement of contractual basis; agreement or determination under Clause 3.7 on 42-day limits |
| FIDIC 1987 4th Edition | Legacy projects still in progress | Older claim mechanics; the profile flags the differences from the 1999 regime rather than assuming them |
| Bespoke employer forms | Government and semi-government employers | Falls back to pure extraction with a mandatory confirmation step before the deadline engine activates |

DraftMyEOT is not a law firm and never claims to be. Every output is a draft, built to be reviewed and signed by your contracts lead or consultant.
No dates, events, or clause numbers appear that you did not supply. Every paragraph shows the evidence reference it was built from.
Each company's workspace is isolated, documents sit in private storage, and consultants see only the project they were invited to.
Send a contract, your delay events, and whatever records exist, tidy or not. A structured draft comes back in 48 hours. Not useful? Keep it, owe nothing.
