Free sample report
This sample shows how ClaimDuke presents a delay and extended overhead claim: the Eichleay allocation for unabsorbed home office overhead, daily extended field overhead for the compensable delay period and an MCAA loss-of-efficiency factor applied to affected labor.
The sample is the complete report as a watermarked PDF, using illustrative figures, not real project data. Your own report is generated live from the numbers you enter and is not watermarked.
Around ten minutes once the contract and accounting figures are to hand. The figures come from your contract file and two reports from your accountant.
The same compensable day count feeds both the Eichleay allocation and the extended field overhead, so enter it once and check it reconciles across both blocks before exporting.
Nothing you enter is uploaded. The calculation and the parsing of any spreadsheet you import happens entirely in your own browser.
Read the sample from the back forwards. The Methodology page tells you which formula produced each figure and what it assumes; once you have that, the line-item breakdown makes sense as a chain of arithmetic rather than a list of numbers. The Eichleay allocation, the extended field overhead and the inefficiency component are kept as three separate blocks precisely so a reviewer can accept one and challenge another without the whole exhibit collapsing.
An owner's representative or surety typically checks three things first: whether the compensable day count is the same everywhere it appears, whether home office and field overhead have been kept apart and whether the billings figures come from the same accounting basis. The sample is laid out so each of those is answerable at a glance.
General contractors and subcontractors preparing a claim, construction attorneys quantifying damages before framing a strategy and claims consultants who want the arithmetic and citation trail assembled without rebuilding a spreadsheet from scratch.
Whichever you are, the arithmetic is free: run the calculator as many times as you like and pay only when you want the branded, citation-backed document assembled.
No. Every sample uses illustrative figures rather than real project or claimant data. The point is to show the layout, the level of detail and the methodology, so you can judge whether the finished report is what you need before you pay for one.
The sample is a watermarked PDF. A paid report is unwatermarked, carries your own logo and company details and comes as a live-formula Excel workbook and an editable Word document alongside the PDF.
Yes. The Excel workbook keeps working formulas rather than pasted values, so changing an input updates the totals. The Word document is a normal editable document.
Allocable Overhead = (Contract Billings ÷ Total Firm Billings) × Total Firm Overhead. Daily Rate = Allocable Overhead ÷ Actual Days of Performance. Damages = Daily Rate × Compensable Delay Days.
Daily Field Overhead Rate × Compensable Delay Days, covering trailer, supervision, utilities, rentals and insurance held on site through the delay.
Affected Labor Cost × MCAA Factor, drawn from the MCAA 'Factors for Weighted Average Loss of Productivity.'
The sample PDF above shows the report. This is the Full Line-Item Breakdown sheet from the formatted Excel workbook a paid report also includes, rendered from an actual generated workbook rather than a mock-up. Every figure on it is a live formula reading from an Inputs tab, so changing an input recalculates the whole workbook.
The sample is a fixed, watermarked PDF. A paid report is generated live from your own figures and adds a formatted Excel workbook with working formulas, a matching Word document, an unwatermarked PDF and your own logo or letterhead. The monthly plan additionally includes a Scenario Comparison sheet for modelling conservative, likely and aggressive positions.
