Once entitlement is established and the delay is calculated (if applicable), the claimant can move on to damages. The five main types of damages are:

1 scope change damages;

2 productivity damages;

3 acceleration damages;

4 delay damages;

5 consequential damages.

Depending on what cost information exists, damages for the first four categories may be calculated by one of four methods:

1 actual cost method;

2 agreed upon cost method;

3 estimated cost method;

4 modified total cost method.

Consequential damages relate to costs not associated with on-site project activity, such as home office overhead, loss of bonding capacity, and lost profits. Consequential damages are often mutually waived in contracts and are not subject to markups.
