When the delay is disputed, the record decides.
Claims and delay analysis for owners, contractors and counsel. Time impact analysis, windows analysis and as-planned versus as-built, built on the project record and explained so a mediator can follow it.
What is on the line.
Damages or an extension
Who caused the delay decides who pays. A few weeks of time can mean millions in liquidated damages or recovered cost.
Concurrent delay
When both sides were late at once, the analysis has to separate them with care. A loose method falls apart under cross-examination.
A thin record
Updates never accepted, daily reports missing, changes undocumented. An analysis is only as strong as the record behind it.
How we analyze delay.
- 01
Assemble the record
Baseline and every update, daily reports, RFIs, change logs, correspondence and minutes, organized by date into one timeline.
- 02
Choose the method that fits
TIA, windows analysis, as-planned versus as-built or collapsed as-built, chosen for the contract and the record, following AACE International recommended practice.
- 03
Find the critical delays
Which events actually delayed completion, when, and by how much, established window by window.
- 04
Allocate responsibility
Owner, contractor, excusable and concurrent delay separated, with the reasoning written down and traceable to the record.
- 05
Report and stand behind it
A clear expert report with exhibits, and support to counsel through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation.
What you walk away with.
Scoped to your project. Native files and plain-English outputs that stay yours when we leave.
Which events delayed completion, by how many days and who was responsible, tied to the schedule record.
A written report with method, findings and exhibits, prepared for negotiation, mediation, arbitration or court.
Prospective or retrospective fragnet analyses for single events, often used to settle time before it becomes a dispute.
Extended general conditions, acceleration and disruption costs tied to the delay periods we establish.
A careful test of the other side’s delay analysis, its method and its assumptions, against the record.
Two berths, one record both sides read.
A 90-acre container terminal expansion with two new berths, delivered design-build over 44 months. Time questions were analyzed window by window as they arose, so responsibility for delay was settled from a contemporaneous record instead of argued at the end. The ships arrived, and both berths were ready.

Straight answers to fair questions.
Do you work for owners or contractors?
Both, and for law firms acting for either side. On any one matter we work for one party, and we check for conflicts before we start.
Which delay method is best?
The one that fits the contract, the dispute and the record available. We explain the choice in the report, because a method that suits the facts is easier to defend.
Can you help before a dispute starts?
Yes, and it costs far less. Time impact analyses done as events happen often settle time without a claim ever being filed.
