Delay Analysis Methods & Concurrent Delay Approaches-Basic

Analyze the categories and causes of construction delays, including excusable and compensable, excusable, and non-compensable and non-executable delays, and explain how risk allocation shapes time entitlement and remedies.

Explain the cause and effect principle as a basis for liability over delays, requiring fault, damage, and a causal link proven through contractual terms and factual records.

Explain concurrent delay and its complex, multi-party causes on the critical path, and how to determine extension of time, prolongation costs, and dispute strategies through delay analysis.

Analyze delay analysis techniques using reliable baseline and as-built data to identify root causes, effects, and liability, applying static and dynamic methods in retrospective and prospective analyses.

Compare the as-planned schedule with as-built outcomes to assess delay causes using an extension-of-time formula, considering employer and contractor risks and simple bar-chart or critical path analyses.

Compare updated as planned versus updated as built by tracking planned timings against actual progress through successive schedule updates, including critical path shifts, to determine delays and liability.

Explore the as-planned impacted (single base) method by comparing the original baseline with a simulated program, inserting delay events to assess completion date changes and what-if scenarios.

Explore time impact analysis via windows analysis, using updated programs, as-built data, and adaptive simulations across multiple critical path method models to quantify delays and concurrency.

Explore the collapsed as-built method, a modeled and static analysis comparing final as-built with a recalculated simulated program to quantify delay events.

collapsed as-built multiple base analysis uses window or watershed periods and subtractive CPM simulations to quantify delay impacts from contemporaneous records.

Explore real-world delay analysis methods, including as planned versus as built, updated plans, time impact analysis, and collapsed as built with multiple baselines, illustrated with practical scenarios and outputs.

Identify and compare international concurrent delay methods, including dominant cost apportionment, the Malmaison and Devlin approaches, with ordinary and modern dominant cause concepts as applied in UK practice and arbitration.

Apportion concurrent delays between the employer and contractor and allocate damages, including liquidated damages and prolongation costs, using either a jury verdict approach or apportionment of time.

Explain the Devlin approach to concurrent delays, where breach of contract acts as a loss cause when two causes cooperate; highlight logical contradictions and its limits in construction delay analysis.

Define concurrent delay with a contract definition covering delays by both parties. Address the critical path and overlapping events, aligned with dynamic or baseline methods in the program of works.

Learn pacing of the work as a conscious, voluntary choice to slow production amid contemporaneous delays, give advance notice to the other party, and distinguish pacing from concurrent delays.

Explore delay analysis techniques, emphasizing time impact analysis and windows analysis as reliable for concurrent delays, and how contracts choose time no cost and related options.

Option two denies entitlement to extension of time for concurrent delays, forbids apportionment, and transfers the risk to the contractor, resulting in no extension and liquidated damages.

Option three presents a time no cost approach for neutral events in concurrent delays, excluding contractor delays caused by neutral events from extension of time calculations.

Analyze time no cost approach for concurrent delays in contracts. Employers and contractors assess extensions of time after delay analysis, with culpable delays and profit excluded.
