One of the complications of a delay analysis is that the delays can be caused by a few of these listed causes or a complex mix of these causes. This article will address these challenges and the various delay analysis methods.īelow is a list of common delay causes encountered on construction projects. This results in a detail- intensive research of the documents to verify schedules, events, sequence of work, changes during construction, and the delay impact. Most of these delay claims reach the expert after completion of the project. It requires an expert with extensive knowledge of construction projects, means and methods, scheduling, and the ability to develop a sound methodology to conduct the analysis. The analysis of the delay impact, the causes, and effects of the delaying activities is one of the most complicated types of claims analysis.
