Schedule Delay Analysis – Choosing a Method

Presented by:
James G. Zack, Executive Director
Navigant Construction Forum

There’s a lot of discussion about project delay and delay claims. There’s even more discussion about which method you should use or which is "the best method." However, there is very little discussion of how you should go about selecting a method. What are the practical matters that should be considered when faced with choosing a schedule delay analysis method? Listen to this presentation to learn what to consider when facing the choice of delay analysis methods.

There have always been debates and arguments over which delay analysis method is "the best method" to use. Hundreds of articles have been published on the subject going back to the late 1960’s. Which method is best is still a wide open issue among schedulers, claim consultants, construction managers, contractors and attorneys. The level of debate has increased in recent years since AACE International published their Recommended Practice – Forensic Schedule Analysis. What has not been widely discussed or written about is what factors should go into the decision-making process when choosing a delay analysis method for a particular project or a specific claim.

Listen to this 90-minute session to get answers to pressing questions, such as:

• How do you go about choosing a delay analysis method?
  
• What factors and issues should be addressed before committing to a potentially lengthy and expensive process?
  
• Is the choice of delay analysis methods irrevocable once made?
  
• What is the risk of trying to change methods in midstream?
  
• And much, much more!

This CD will provide insight into the 11 factors you should consider when making a choice.
