Contemporaneous delay analysis that resolved a multi-party time extension request without going to arbitration.
The plant finished months after its contract date. The owner, the EPC contractor and an equipment supplier each blamed the others, and the time extension request ran to hundreds of pages. Liquidated damages and extended overhead claims were on the table. The parties were heading toward arbitration with very different stories about what happened.
The approach.
- 01
The record first
We assembled schedule updates, daily reports, correspondence and delivery records into one verified project timeline.
- 02
Windows analysis
Using the contemporaneous schedule updates, a windows analysis traced how the critical path moved period by period.
- 03
Delay allocated by cause
Each delay was assigned to owner, contractor, supplier or concurrent cause, following AACE recommended practices.
- 04
A clear story for the table
Findings were presented in plain charts and a short report that all three parties could follow and test.
The outcome.
“Everyone had a version of events. The schedule updates had the facts. Once the parties saw the same evidence, the argument got short.”
