What you'll learn
- Prepare Time Impact Analyses in Primavera P6 through practical, step-by-step construction delay scenarios.
- Build delay fragnets and integrate them into schedules while preserving logic, calendars, and actual progress.
- Measure how delays affect critical paths, available float, key milestones, and project completion.
- Model design approval delays, restricted site access, long-lead procurement, and missed outage windows.
- Analyze interacting owner and contractor delays and avoid double-counting their effects.
- Track delay impacts across schedule updates and evaluate mitigation, recovery, and remaining delay.
- Evaluate missing or unreliable baselines and develop documented reference models with clear limitations.
- Compare TIA, windows, as-planned versus as-built, impacted as-planned, and collapsed as-built methods.
- Prepare a structured delay-analysis report linking events, schedule results, supporting records, and assumptions.

Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Learn how to assess construction delays and prepare practical Time Impact Analyses using Primavera P6.
This course follows a fictional reference project through practical delay scenarios, helping you understand how events affect schedule logic, available float, critical paths, milestones, and project completion. Step-by-step demonstrations connect the modeling process with the reasoning behind each change.
You will explore design approval delays, restricted site access, long-lead procurement, missed outage windows, existing contractor delays, and interacting owner and contractor events. You will learn to build delay fragnets, select an appropriate reference schedule, preserve actual progress, and compare results without double-counting impacts.
A dedicated module addresses a common challenge: working without a credible approved baseline. You will examine schedule reliability, document deficiencies, develop a provisional reference model, and explain the assumptions and limitations affecting your conclusions.
The course also covers mitigation and recovery, multiple events across schedule updates, changing critical paths, and comparisons with other delay-analysis methods. These include as-planned versus as-built, impacted as-planned, collapsed as-built, and windows analysis.
Supporting exercises help you connect delay events with schedule evidence and prepare clear explanations of the modeled results. The emphasis is on understanding why dates change and how to communicate those changes.
This course is intended for schedulers, planning engineers, project controls professionals, project managers, and professionals developing construction claims expertise. Basic knowledge of CPM scheduling and Primavera P6 is recommended.
AI assistance disclosure: AI tools helped develop written explanations, presentation materials, fictional practice scenarios, and supporting resources. The examples are educational; applying these methods to actual projects requires checking the schedule inputs, project records, assumptions, and calculated results.
Who this course is for:
- Planning engineers, schedulers, and project controls professionals who want practical delay-analysis skills.
- Project and construction managers who need to understand schedule impacts and evaluate recovery options.
- Claims consultants and contract administrators who review delay events and supporting schedule evidence.
- Contractor, consultant, and owner representatives who prepare or assess Time Impact Analyses.
- Professionals seeking to move from scheduling into construction delay analysis and claims consulting.
