The aimof the paper is to review themethods allowing to determinate contractors claims due to delays in construction works for which the client is responsible. Focuses on the specific type of costs – namely head office overheads in construction companies. Selectedmethods in the formof calculation formulas are discussed. Compared in terms of their assumptions and principles as well as input data necessary for calculations. Additionally the results of claims computations are also compared on the basis of calculation example. The analysis of the methods principles and the computations results revealed discrepancies between the discussed methods.
