Partial contents:
Introduction -- Show sub-topics -- Construction Programmes -- Identification of Construction Delays -- Analysis of Construction Delays -- Delay Analysis Techniques -- Problematic Issues -- Effective Presentation of Delay Analysis -- Appendix -- Glossary -- Table of Cases -- Index
Summary: Provides guidance to the process of delay analysis and includes an in-depth review of the primary methods of delay analysis, together with the assumptions that underlie the precise calculations required in any quantitative delay analysis. Assessing the financial impacts associated with delay and disruption, and establishing a causal link from each delay event to its effect, contractual liability and the damages experienced as a direct result of each event, can be difficult and complex. The authors discuss delay analysis techniques, and their appropriateness under given circumstances, demonstrating how combined approaches may be applied where necessary. They also consider problematic issues including 'who owns the float', concurrent delay, early completion programmes, and disruption. The book features practical worked examples and case studies demonstrating the techniques commonly used by experienced practitioners.
