Côte d'Ivoire variation: how to claim idle plant costs?

The client changed the alignment; work stopped for 18 days and nine machines stood idle.
The contract only grants a time extension, with no idle-cost clause.
What documents are needed, and on what basis is it calculated?

Change order, stop notice and site records of the machines form the base; send notice early.

Claiming 60 to 70% of the shift rate is common, covering depreciation, insurance and standby crew.

Photograph daily and get it signed; material assembled later is usually rejected.
