Download or read book Delay Analysis in Construction Contracts written by P. John Keane and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most significant unanticipated costs on many construction projects are the financial impacts associated with delay and disruption to the works. Assessing these, and establishing a causal link from each delay event to its effect, contractual liability and the damages experienced as a direct result of each event, can be difficult and complex. This book is a practical guide to the process of delay analysis and includes an in-depth review of the primary methods of delay analysis, together with the assumptions that underlie the precise calculations required in any quantitative delay analysis. The techniques discussed can be used on projects of any size, under all forms of construction contract, both domestic and international. The authors discuss not only delay analysis techniques, but also their appropriateness under given circumstances, demonstrating how combined approaches may be applied where necessary. They also consider problematic issues including ‘who owns the float’, concurrent delay, early completion programmes, and disruption. The book has been brought fully up to date, including references to the latest publications from the CIOB, AACEI and SCL, as well as current case law. Broad in scope, the book discusses the different delay analysis approaches likely to be encountered on national and international projects, and features practical worked examples and case studies demonstrating the techniques commonly used by experienced practitioners. This is an invaluable resource to programmers and schedulers, delay analysts, contractors, architects, engineers and surveyors. It will also be of interest to clients’ professional advisors managing extension of time or delay claims, as well as construction lawyers who require a better understanding of the underlying assumptions on which many quantitative delay analyses are based. Reviews of First Edition "John Keane and Anthony Caletka are pukka analysts in that tricky area of delays, programming and extension of time. I highly recommend their book Delay Analysis in Construction Contracts. Buy the book." (Building Magazine, February 2009) "The book′s stated purpose is to provide a practical guide for those interested in schedule delay analysis. It provides a good in–depth review of the most common delay analysis techniques.... An excellent book, full of practical tips for the reader and very timely in its publication. It is well worth the cost and a good read for anyone involved in schedule delay analysis." (Cost Engineering, February 2009) It achieves in spades its stated aim of being a practical guide for contractors, contract administrators, programmers and delay analysts, as well as construction lawyers who require a better understanding of the underlying assumptions on which many quantitative delay analyses are based.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, SIld disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna and broader dissemination. tional publishing house to assure improved service Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 30 (thesis year 1985) a total of 12,400 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 186 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work.

Book excerpt: At this time, we do not have a universally accepted method to precisely determine the construction project delays, their causes or responsibilities. The float ownership is another vague issue and deserves up front assignment, because it can affect the project risk as a result of float consumption by the owner and the contractor(s). The current Project Management software is used as a tool only to manage the project time, cost, and resources without the ability to determine the project delay, acceleration, or float consumption responsibilities that frequently cause the construction projects ending up in litigations. This research has investigated the delay analysis techniques, and attempted to solve all of the identified weaknesses in analyzing the float ownership and consumption, acceleration impacts, and the effect of concurrent delays. A new concept of float ownership has been introduced in this research labeled, "Total Risk Concept". The concept is based on the basic thinking that the party who carries the project risk should be entitled to the float ownership consumption and deserves compensation by other project parties that might increase the project risk by consuming the float. The concept takes into consideration the changes in float as a result of in-progress delaying or accelerating the project. A new technique, labeled "Total Float (TF) Management", has been introduced for attempting to solve all the associated issues of float ownership while determining the project delays and accelerations. The technique uses a day-by-day methodology to track the float consumptions in addition to track the project delays and accelerations. The analysis establishes a record of Entitlement Float Consumption, assigned to the owner and the contractor for each activity on the schedule. Further, the TF Management technique determines precisely the liquidated and compensable damages periods. The developed system in this research has been validated using two shell projects. Finally, a Computer Programming has been developed that automates the process of TF Management, by using C++ object-oriented programming. The Computer Programming has been tested on the two example projects used on the TF Management, in addition to a factual project.

Book excerpt: At the present time, we do not have universally accepted method to precisely determine the construction project delays, their causes or responsibilities. The float ownership is another vague issue and deserves up front assignment, because it can affect the project time and risk as a result of float consumption by the owner and the contractor(s). The current Project Management (PM) software is used as a tool only to manage the project time, cost, and resources without the ability to determine the project delay, acceleration, or float consumption responsibilities that frequently cause the construction projects ending up in litigations. This Book has investigated the delay analysis techniques, and attempted to solve all of the identified weaknesses in analyzing the float ownership and consumption, acceleration impacts, and the effect of concurrent delays. In addition, it studies the current PM software in analyzing delay claim. Finally, a computer programming is introduced to use in analyzing delay claim. If you would like to understand and study the delay analysis techniques in depth, this is the right book to choose.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discusses the reconstruction strategies and delay in time and cost caused by different delay factors in some selected projects in Iraq (Baghdad as a case study). The purpose of this study is to avoid delays that occur in construction projects especially in post disaster circumstances whether it they were natural or manmade due to their particular national and humanitarian importance. We presented a theoretical and practical concept for projects management in the field of construction industry that deal with a range of global and local trails. This study sheds light on the reconstruction industry in Iraq (Baghdad as a case study) experiences, comparing them to different experiences of different countries and returning to comparing the theoretical framework as an integrated strategy for reconstruction in Iraq and other countries that suffer the same circumstances and cause delay in time and cost in construction projects. This study aimed to identify the factors of effective delay in construction projects in Iraq that affect the time and the specific quality cost, and find the best solutions to address delays and solve the problem by setting parameters to restore balance in this study. 30 projects were selected in different areas of construction were selected as a sample for this study. These projects were selected due to their different level of vulnerability. Twelve delay factors were selected for this study. The study focused on the most common and repeated delay factors in construction projects in Iraq (Baghdad as a case study). Delay factors were owner failure (O.F), newly added holidays (HO), redesigning and changing orders (RD), changing site location (CSP), contractor failure (ContF), security status (SS), consultant failure (ConsF), preparing projects delay (DPP), laboratory tests delay (LTD), low prices (LP), external factors (EF) and weather factors (WF).

Download or read book Construction Manager at risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs written by Douglas D. Gransberg and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2010 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 402: Construction Manager-at-Risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs explores current methods in which state departments of transportation and other public engineering agencies are applying construction manager-at-risk (CMR) project delivery to their construction projects. CMR project delivery is an integrated team approach to the planning, design, and construction of a highway project, to help control schedule and budget, and to help ensure quality for the project owner. The team consists of the owner; the designer, who might be an in-house engineer; and the at-risk construction manager. The goal of this project delivery method is to engage at-risk construction expertise early in the design process to enhance constructability, manage risk, and facilitate concurrent execution of design and construction without the owner relinquishing control over the details of design as it would in a design-build project.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discerns and analyzes opportunities to improve the schedule performance of the City of Seattle’s water, sewer, and drainage improvements that are delivered through transportation capital projects. This issue is particularly salient, as Seattle’s water, sewer, and garbage ratepayers are spending over $100 million each year on capital improvements that are a result of unprecedented transportation construction – which inevitably creates impacts and opportunities to below-grade infrastructure. This research takes the form of a multi-case descriptive study, examining three projects with significant utility scope that was delivered through transportation contracts. Specifically, this thesis focuses on schedule performance during the initiation, options analysis, and design phases of the project delivery lifecycle. As a result, this research found misaligned production systems between the utility and transportation agencies, as well as divergent policy drivers and mental models that reinforce the status quo. These findings and the following recommendation are derived from semi-structured interviews with project team members, observation of project delivery processes and artifacts, and pertinent theories, empirics, and literatures of practice. A recommendation to implement lean production – or a continuous improvement culture based on front-line empowerment and eliminating waste – is put forward from a limited policy analysis.
