It has seen that time impact analysis and window techniques are most commonly used by UK delay analysts and mostly Claim Consultancies and they prefer these two techniques for good results
Hi David,
Time Impact Analysis is very easy to understand. The presentation is also very easy to generate.
In one of the claim for eot that i was involved, I had a baseline schedule, i evaluated the events that impacts on the baseline and I computed the numbers of days delays.
Very simple.
Cheers,
For website, i think some of our colleagues here in PP attached their website.
Oh dear!!
I hear rumblings as I reach for the can opener already!
David,
Like many things in this business, it all depends on whether you see the glass as half full or half empty!
There will be a conference in London next month, billed as “The Great Delay Analysis Debate” (see: http://www.scl.org.uk/events/fliers/Great_Delay_Analysis_Debate_Flyer.p… ), in which various protagonists will present their view as to how delay analysis should be conducted.
This debate will look at four different methods, each of which will be argued on behalf of a particular party – the Contractor, the Employer, the Engineer and the Adjudicator.
I know that this doesn’t answer your own question directly, but – as is the case with so much in this business – it is like asking how long is a piece of string!
As to your specific question on what is the most ‘commonly used’ method, I would hazard a guess that for each ‘As Planned Impacted’ produced by a Contractor, there will be an ‘As Planned v. As Built’ produced by the Employer. Whatever method is used, however, it will fail if it is illogical or incorrect.
And you may want to scroll back a couple of pages on the PP Contracts, Claims and Assessment Forum, on the thread “As Build Critical Path” to get a flavour of how heated such a debate can get!
Hope this helps,
Stuart
