The main contractor for a project to construct a new hotel is in the execution phase of a design-build (DB) lump sum contract. The client delayed approval of some room features, so the contractor raised a claim for extra time. What should the construction professional representing the client do first while evaluating the claim? Approve the claim because the client is the reason for the delay. Reject the claim because the project cannot be delayed. Check the baseline (SOW) and verify if the delays in approvals align with the contract terms. Ask the contractor to reduce the time requested and then submit the claim to the client for approval
