The construction industry's propensity for delays -- Planning for the project -- Planning techniques -- Monitoring progress -- Analysis of delay -- Preparing and evaluating a claim -- Standard forms of contract -- Case law and delay -- Dispute resolution -- Conclusion.
Over the years delays on construction projects has prompted a steady flow of reports, academic analyses and court cases, but these have provided very little straightforward practical advice to construction professionals on how to evaluate delays. Everyone from architects, engineers and surveyors through to contractors, expert witnesses and lawyers connected to the construction industry often have to face the difficult task of preparing or assessing a delay claim but few have received any significant training in how to go about the task. This book aims to tackle the difficulties of delay analysis head on and as a result it hopes to strip away the mystique surrounding the subject of delay analysis and reveal the limitations of the various methods of delay analysis commonly used.
