Notice of Delay (NOD)

28-day notice of delay served under Cl. 39.2. Captures delay trigger date, cause, anticipated impact on completion, and preservation of claim rights.

When to use this letter

Within 28 days of becoming aware of a delay event, before the EOT notice itself. The NOD preserves the right to claim; missing this window is the most common reason claims are time-barred.

What's inside

  • Trigger event date and contractor's awareness date
  • Cause of delay paragraph with documentary references
  • Anticipated impact on critical path and milestone dates
  • Statement that detailed quantification follows in EOT notice
  • Preservation of claim rights and reference to Cl. 39.2 timing

Why this is different from a generic template

Clause numbers, not vague rights
Cites NHAI GCC Cl. 39.2 directly. Generic templates skip the clause reference and lose the legal anchor.
Indian contract context
Written for NHAI, CPWD, and MoRTH practice. Not a FIDIC document with Indian terminology pasted over it.
Evidence-ready structure
Notice periods, delivery method, and acknowledgement trail built in. Stands up at DRB and arbitration.

Skip the blank page. CivilBolt drafts this with your contract clauses filled in.

Upload your contract and CivilBolt produces a notice of delay (nod) with the right clause references, notice periods, and delivery obligations already populated. Edit the specifics, send it out.
