Who is the delay on for "Supply Chain" problems?

Everybody is claiming "supply chain problems"  -  for structural steel - that has always seems to take longer than planned - shouldn't that always be on the contractor?  The pandemic is effectively over, shouldn't the associated claims be also? what is the cut-off date?

Which way of these 2 ways is more correct to count these simple delay days? use straight days or effect?

Which way of these 2 ways is more correct to count delay days?



Steel was supposed to take 95 Days, it took 142.  = 47 Day difference = 47 Day Delay.  You could argue the contractor is "owed" 47 days.

Steel was supposed to take 95 Days, it took 142.  But 2 of its successors completed in the meantime and each were 10 days, so is the delay 27 Days?  You could argue "the effect" was 27 Day delay.

At what point on the project is agreement on schedule delay finalised?

So you've completed the project and handed it over to the Client and the commercial team are working on the final account which is proving difficult as the project was signed off 6 months late to latest contract end date. Overall the project went well, with good client/contractor cooperation, delay notices were put in and responded to by the Client and the delays and values settled and paid and were covered by VO's as the project proceeded.

Isn't every Actual Duration longer than the baseline duration with float a concurrent delay?

Isn't every Actual Duration longer than the baseline duration with float a concurrent delay?  -  taking into account possible changes since the baseline (maybe).

Delay Analysis

Dear Friend ,

i am working on project which has been delayed from start as the work from hold by the client in the beginning.

The baseline was approved , however after the resumption of work the contractor made a new schedule by changing , adding , deleting some activities in the schedule .however the said schedule was not approved by the client since the client didnt agree on completion date . however the client allow use of it to monitor site progress .

Now at the end of project , in order to make retrospect analysis which schedule should be updated .

Using prospective TIA with contractual deadlines

Both the SCL and AACE recognise the inaccuracy that can result from performing TIA when there is a gap between the delay event and the programme status date. The recommendation is generally to update the programme to immediately before the delay event.

The  contract often provides deadlines for the submission of EoT claims, expressed as x days from becoming aware of a critical delay.

If one becomes aware of a delay event which will commence in 30 days time, but the contract requires an EOT claim to be submitted within 20 days of becoming aware, how should one proceed?

Further Claim on an already mitigated schedule

If you have time to consider this I would appreciate you thoughts :-)

The SCENARIO:

1: A baseline schedule was produced and during the course of the works it was used by way of an Impacted As-Planned analysis to demonstrate delay to the Works and claim an EoT.  Let's say the the contract was 2 years long and was due to complete at the end of 2021 with an EoT claim for 4 months pushing the end date to end of April 2022.
