Delay Analysis & Extension of Time (EOT)
Delay analysis have become essential in the development of a defense strategy, both in pre-litigation and litigation. However, they may suffer from opacity for stakeholders, especially for legal advisers. But legal counsels should be able to fully grasp the essence of the analysis.
Forensic Delay Analysis
Delays are the main reason for major disruptions on major projects. They can lead to significant over costs and possibly prevent the achievement of the expected performances. Our experts offer a retrospective look at pathological project events. We point out the root delay causes and apportion the responsibilities of each individual stakeholder.
A Logical Approach in Delay Analysis
We perform delay analysis as a service or within a wider scope also including claim management and dispute resolution. All our forensic studies combine a broad approach of scheduling and a refined analysis of critical aspects. Our goal is to establish facts.
Using Common Sense
Above all, a delay analyst has to make use of common sense. We initiate every study with an examination of the project environment to understand the issues at stake. As consultants, being external to the project, we are able to oversee complex topics on extended time periods.
Through our analysis our aim is to answer the following questions:
- What should have happened, according to as-planned programme?
- However, what has actually happened, according to as-build programme?
- Which are the reasons for the occurred events?
- Who is responsible for the observed changes?
- What are the consequences on scheduling and cost?
