Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

The author of said book is Roger Gibson and NOT Gibson & Roger. He is a PP member but the book is only for begineers level.

Best book i have found till date is by Keith Pickavance - Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts, but the price is approx. GBP350/- (AED2200)

I would recommend:

1. About Time: Delay Analysis in Construction by Lowsley and Linnett (a basic, quick read and a good light overview)

2. Delay Analysis in Construction Contracts by Keane & Caletka (a bit more detail and some good information)

3. Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts Edition 3 by Keith Pickavance (an in depth publication; a must read if you want in depth reading)

4. Causation and Delay in Construction Disputes Ed 2 2005 by Nicholas Carnell (written by a lawyer so an interesting prspective)

Regards

Toby

Hi Hamesh

One of the most concise books on the subject is "About Time" by Linnett - RICS Bookshop.

Best regards

Dear Haresh,

If you do a quick search on PP, you will find few that were recommended earlier. This is a good question, I will search for you as well.

claim= 1911 hits
claims= 987 hits
Extension of time 320 hits
calculation of acceleration = only our request :)

With kind regards,

Samer
