Where a FIDIC claim is won or lost

⏱️

The time bar, on the record

Under FIDIC 1999 Sub-Clause 20.1, a claim not noticed within 28 days is forfeit. Every notice states the notice and particulars deadlines explicitly — no vague "within the prescribed period".

📑

The right sub-clause, every time

Delay, variation, unforeseen conditions, access, drawings — each ground has its own clause and its own remedy. ChatNotice cites the correct one and frames the entitlement it actually carries.

✍️

Formal register, no blank page

Third-person, "the Contractor", contractually worded. You describe the event; the software writes the notice a Contract Manager expects to receive.

How it works

From what happened to a served notice

1

Describe the event

Explain what happened in your own words — a late drawing, an instruction, ground you did not expect. No form to decode.

2

Answer a few questions

ChatNotice asks only what the notice needs: dates, the part of the Site, the activities affected, references.

3

Review and serve

Out comes a clause-compliant notice with the deadline stated — ready to review, adjust, and send.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is FIDIC claims software?

FIDIC claims software drafts the contractual notices a Contractor must serve to preserve entitlement under a FIDIC contract — for delay, variations, unforeseen conditions, late access, and more. ChatNotice does this from a plain-English description: you explain what happened, it cites the governing sub-clause, states the notice and particulars deadlines, and produces a formally worded notice ready to review and send.

Which FIDIC clauses does it cover?

The eight notice types cover Sub-Clause 8.4 (delay), 13.1 (variations), 4.12 (unforeseen physical conditions), 2.1 (access to and possession of the Site), 1.9 (delayed drawings), 8.5 (delays caused by authorities), 17.3 (Employer's risks), and forward-looking early warning. Each notice is framed under Sub-Clause 20.1, the FIDIC 1999 claims clause, unless a bespoke contract sets different terms.

Does it handle the 28-day time bar?

Yes. Every generated notice states the deadline explicitly — the 28-day notice deadline and the 42-day particulars deadline under FIDIC 1999 — or the actual time bars extracted from a bespoke contract when one is uploaded. Missing the notice deadline is what forfeits a claim, so the deadline is put on the record in the notice itself.

Is it free?

ChatNotice is free to use during the beta. Sign up with a work email; no credit card required.
