Delay & Disruption Analysis

Construction delays cost money. Disruption costs more. But proving causation and quantifying impact requires technical expertise that stands up under legal scrutiny.

We investigate what went wrong, why it happened, and what it cost – delivering clear conclusions in weeks, not months.

Understanding Delay vs Disruption

Delay = Critical path impact extending project completion 

Disruption = Reduced productivity affecting work efficiency

Both cost Contractors money. Both require different analytical approaches. Both need expert quantification for successful claims.

Common causes we investigate:

• Late design information or design changes
• Procurement delays and material shortages
• Weather events and site conditions
• Third-party negligence and interference
• Variations and scope changes

Our Analytical Approach

Rapid Investigation We start immediately – no corporate queues or approval processes. Direct access to qualified civil engineers who understand construction realities.

Robust Methodology
Industry-standard analysis using Critical Path Method and productivity studies. Technical rigor without unnecessary complexity.

Clear Quantification We don’t just identify problems – we calculate financial impact. Time extensions, additional costs, loss of productivity – all quantified and defensible.

Practical Solutions Analysis that helps settlement discussions, not just academic exercises. Commercial awareness from engineers who’ve worked on-site.
