Delay Analysis in Construction Contracts

Most construction projects are subject to delays, which can have severe financial penalties for contractor, subcontractor or client. The cause and effect of a delay, in terms of time and money, have to be analysed and presented in a clear and unambiguous way for a successful time delay claim or extension of time entitlement. If not, a dispute is likely to arise. There is little 'hands-on' guidance on the many available delay analysis techniques. This guide has been written to: - set out the techniques available - examine the suitability of such techniques for given circumstances - demonstrate these points with worked examples Delay analysis is becoming increasingly complex, and there is much debate on the various appraoches available. This invaluable guide has been written by authors who have tried and tested these techniques in both a commercial environment and the courts.
