Dear Mathew,



Can you let us know what is the course outline for the following training course that you are giving:



PT4: Forensic Delay Analysis for Claims



With kind regards,

Hi Toby,



We are running a course called BIM Forensic Delay Analysis using Synchro Software. This course is in production stage.Take a look at our website. We were on the 1st issue of the PP Newsletter.

Dear All



There was an interesting paper in the recent Construction Law Review on "The Use of Visualisations in Case Presentation and Evidence" by Andrew Burr and Keith Pickavance.



Thes article discusses the use of 3D and 4D animations in identifying causation in construction disputes as visual narratives and as evidence, and presents various case studies in which animations were used successfully in resolving the cause and effect of disruption in complex scenarios.



Worth a read.



Regards

I am using Autodesk Navisworks and it’s pretty easy to use. Has anyone compared this with Synchro? I haven’t used synchro though.



In my opinion, 4D should be used from the start of the project not just for the delay analysis.

Dear Matthew,



You are correct, the natural developemnt of computer software would lead to developing these 4D models.



I have read several articles about Construction sites starting to install cameras at site so that Upper Management can monitor the progress. Maybe the Cameras can produce still and video images that will be incorporated with the Programs of Works in the future.



With kind regards,

Hi Samer,



I agree with you. As we enter the BIM age whereby more accurate reporting against BIM projects can be expected, I do feel that this is an area which will expand.



As Mike says, the Vico tool is a system that incorporates 3D / 4D / 5D data and can demonstrate delays in a video simulation.



As regards to the paperwork, I agree with you wholeheartedly,



Regards

Dear Matthew,



When disputes happen on sites, both parties would have seen the progress and the problems evolving over time, and it would be most probably documented in reports and letters. Otherwise, chances of winning are slim.



3D are images, moving or not, are nice to look at, but do not solve the problems. You need experts to read the Contracts, Laws and Regulations and determine who is responsible for what.



With kind regards,

Hi Matthew



Clarity and simplicity are key elements of a succesful EoT presentation.



Why print the information on single sheets of paper when you can stream the sequences?



I currently use 2D comparisions on PowerPoint and even a Judge can understand it.



Vico do an integrated 5D system which - to my mind - is the way forward.



Best regards



Mike Testro.
