Managing Schedule Delays
How should we manage the schedule delays? Should we make regular schedule changes to ensure that the schedule updates don’t show any delays? Should we develop a recovery schedule? Or perhaps show the delays as they are? Before I answer this question, I would like to take a step back and explain what a delay […]
MIP 3.8 & 3.9: Collapsed As-Built Delay Analysis Method

The difference between delay and disruption
Understand the difference between delay and disruption in less than 5 minutes. In a nutshell, delay prevents the Contractor from completing the activity within the planned time frame. However, disruption prevents the Contractor from completing the activity within the planned cost. Watch the below video to learn more about the difference. Regards, Osama Saad, MBA, […]
The Theory of Delay Analysis
Imagine you are walking in the street and saw a car accident. The first question you would probably ask yourself is: WHAT HAPPENED? Your brain forces you to create scenarios to better understand how the “damage” occurred through a language the brain can understand. This language is based on logical steps or actions which are […]
The Dark Art of Construction Claims
Delay analysis is an art – a dark art. Practitioners always seek to learn more about tips and tricks related to project scheduling softwares such as Primavera and Microsoft Project. They start by creating a Fragnet inside the program and link it to appropriate activities to determine entitlements. The way which most planning engineers follow […]
Notices of Extension of Time Claims
Notifications are an essential part of the claim but are often overlooked. If the claim notice is not submitted, the contractor risks its entitlements. But first, why are claim notices so important? First, notices serve as an alarm of potential causes of delays. Second, the owner has the right to analyze the risks associated with […]
