  • Construction delays are a widespread and inherent challenge in the construction industry, impacting projects of all sizes and complexities. These delays can occur due to various factors, including unforeseen site conditions, weather disruptions, material shortages, design changes, regulatory approvals, labour challenges, and unforeseen events.

    Efficient time management is of paramount importance in construction projects to mitigate the adverse effects of delays. Time is a valuable resource in the construction process, and any inefficiencies can lead to project overruns, causing substantial financial repercussions for all parties involved.

    When delays occur, construction forensic delay analysis is the specialized process that involves investigating and analyzing these delays. It aims to identify the causes and extent of delays, assess their impact on the project timeline, and determine responsibility for the delays. For forensic schedule delay analysis, we leverage variety of scheduling techniques to investigate tasks and activities, aiming to resolve delay claims and determine appropriate remedies or compensation.

  • Our Forensic Delay Analysis services, includes the following:

    • As-Planned vs As-Built Analysis: This involves a comparison of the originally planned schedule (As-Planned) with the actual progress and outcome of a construction project (As-Built). The dates and durations of the activities are selected from the baseline schedule and compared with the actual schedule. 
This method is straightforward and easy to use.
    • Windows Analysis: This involves dividing the overall schedule into specific time windows. Within each window, activities are analyzed to account for delays. Regular updates make this method accurate in pinpointing delays, and its precise monitoring makes manipulation difficult.
    • Time Impact Analysis: This involves examining the cause and effect of changes to the Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule. It identifies delay-causing events and their impact on activities. This technique is effective for analyzing complex schedules and identifying concurrent delays. It is widely accepted by the legal system.
    • Collapsed As-Built: This involves using the actual as-built schedule and removing the duration of delays caused by the contractor. The revised schedule is then analyzed to determine the as-built critical path. Collapsed As-Built analysis is valuable for identifying concurrent delays.

  • Forensic construction delay analysis plays a vital role in maintaining transparency, accountability, and fairness in construction projects. It aids in resolving disputes, optimizing schedules, and ensuring successful project delivery while safeguarding the interests of all parties involved.
