Construction Schedule Delay Analysis
Imperium Consulting Group has extensive expertise in construction project scheduling and performing assessments of project delay and disruption. This includes forensic schedule delay analysis to quantify delays to support time-related and impact costs, as well as forecasting delays through Time Impact Analyses for change orders.
Our Construction Schedule Delay Analysis Expertise
Imperium collaborates closely with clients to establish baseline schedules and provide monthly updates for complex projects where project delivery faces significant risks. Our valued clients, including contractors, owners, engineers and law firms, rely on our schedule delay analysis proficiency for construction claims. We develop and respond to delay and disruption claims, deliver expert reports with forensic schedule delay analyses and provide workshops on managing schedule risk to avoid claims.
Construction Schedule Delay Analysis Services
Our team performs Critical Path Method ("CPM") schedule delay analyses to quantify delays, assess acceleration and recovery, pinpoint the root causes of schedule impacts and allocate responsibility for delays. Our schedule delay analyses provide reliable and well-supported schedule delay quantum for claims, including:
- Quantification of compensable delays (entitling contractors to delay-related costs such as General Conditions) or non-compensable.
- Quantification of excusable delays (relieving contractors from liquidated damages) or non-excusable (potentially subjecting contractors to liquidated damages).
- Identification of concurrent delays affecting the assessment of compensable/excusable delay quantum.
- Quantification of acceleration/schedule recovery.
- Identification and quantification of disruption impacts on critical and non-critical paths, affecting not only time-related costs but also additional labor and equipment costs related to disrupted activities.
Imperium experts evaluate schedules and project records to determine schedule impacts resulting from insurable loss events. We then develop claims submitted to insurers. Our process for analyzing insurance claims includes:
- Assessing project progress at the time of loss, based on the contemporaneous "pre-loss" schedule, enabling comprehensive delay analysis for potential loss recovery.
- Analyzing critical paths following loss events throughout the repair and rebuild phases.
- Identifying specific delays caused by the loss event that impact the critical path, leading to delays and recovery costs.
- Recognizing acceleration in project schedules and facilitating recovery of delays caused by events and damage repairs.
The Imperium Construction Claims team comprises engineers, project managers, schedulers, cost controllers and accountants dedicated exclusively to the construction sector. We offer clients comprehensive services in claims evaluation and expert testimony for a wide range of construction projects. Our expertise extends to various settlement forums, including mediation, arbitration, litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
