Time truly is money, especially in construction. Consequently, being able to determine and document delay is a crucial skill for owners, contractors, subcontractors, design consultants, project managers, and their legal teams. This webinar will focus on the key terms, important contract provisions, and the most successful approaches to the determination of delay. It will include a discussion of the importance of the critical path and the contemporaneous documentation and the pitfalls associated with discredited analytical techniques. It will also describe the underlying legal concepts and decisions. Step-by-step, real-life examples will allow you to see how the concepts and techniques presented in the webinar are actually applied. At the conclusion of the webinar, you will be able to identify and quantify delays before they occur, preventing unnecessary disputes and claims.

• Understand key terms used in analyzing delay
• Analyze delays that have yet to occur and after they occur
