NEC ECC: Can a Contractor claim loss of profit on a compensation event for delayed access to works?

There has been a delay to access of the site for the Contractor to complete works. The Contractor has been issued with a CE. He subsequently submits a quotation which includes a claim for loss of profit. Is he entitled to it under NEC?

Not directly. If his tendered fee percentages make an allowance for this, then he would gain something. Otherwise, ‘No’.
