Benefits for Selecting Appropriate Delay Analysis Techniques

Hi All,

Can anyone provide me some benefits or better outcome for the performance of the project if an appropriate delay analysis technique is selected for certain types of building construction? I need your help on this matter for my thesis.

Hi Ronald

The selected delay analysis method does not depend on the type of construction but on many different factors.

The new SCL protocol gives clear guidance on the topic and is essential reading for your thesis.

In my opinion selection of the appropriate method(s) for any particular delay analysis is the key skill for an Expert Delay Analyst.

Matters to consider include (In no particular Order of Significance):

Is it work in progress or completed work.

Is it a main contract or sub contract.

The contract terms and conditions.

Is the programme a contract document or not.

Quality of as built records and historic information.

Quality of Baseline Programme

Use of Software - P6 is rubbish

Always avoid a window / time slice method.

Best regards
