Can the approach to delay analysis in construction be standardised?

 

Delay to construction projects will often result in time and cost overruns. Such claims are at the heart of most construction disputes today, and the effort involved in resolving these claims is not without considerable time and cost to all parties involved. 

While the Society of Construction Law's Delay and Disruption Protocol (2002) made a first attempt at making the resolution of these disputes more predictable it was not received with well by the industry for a number of reasons. However the question remains, can the approach to delay disputes be standardised in one form or another.

I would really appreciate your views on this matter as this is the focus of a dissertation I am working on at the moment, and if you are feeling rather generous with your precious time I would welcome you participation on my questionnaire I have set up on the following link:
