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.

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.

Download or read book Construction Delays written by Ted J Trauner and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2009-04-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delays in construction projects are frequently expensive, since there is usually a construction loan involved which charges interest, management staff dedicated to the project whose costs are time dependent, and ongoing inflation in wage and material prices. Many techniques are used to analyze delays. Some of these methods have inherent weaknesses and should be avoided. This book points out the shortcomings of these faulty methods and explains how a delay analysis should be performed. It then describes specifically how the analysis is done with CPM schedules. A explanation of delays and delay damages, presented in a straightforward, accessible manner, should be useful to public and private owners, construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, suppliers, and attorneys whose work involves them in the construction industry. The discussion will include subtleties of the process, such as shifts in the critical path, and non-critical delays. The subject of damages is covered in detail, including the major categories of extended field overhead and unabsorbed home office overhead. Likewise, the damages suffered by the owner, either actual or liquidated, are also explained. Finally, a chapter is devoted to managing the risk of delays and time extensions from the viewpoints of the various parties to a construction project. A discussion of early completion schedules and constructive acceleration is also included. In this new ediion, all chapters are updated to reflect the changes in the construction field since the first edition published over l6 years ago. The Second Edition includes over 40% more information such as new methods for analyzing delays with examples of the proper approach. The author also includes a new chapter on risk managment which focuses on the delay-related risks of the various parties in a construction project. Explains the different categories of delays Addresses the concept of concurrency and also non-critical delays Discusses the more common approaches used for measuring and analyzing delays and the strengths and weaknesses associated with them Prevention of Time-Related Delay Problems
Download or read book Development of Delays Claims Assessment Model written by Sasan Golnaraghi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disputes in the construction industry originate primarily from the occurrence of delays, which are the major causes of time and cost overruns in construction projects. Delays affect project parties, the owner and the contractor. Loss of either anticipated revenue or opportunity cost, on the owner's side, and increased overhead cost, cost escalation and liquidated damages, on the contractor's side, are considered as the main impacts of delays on key project stakeholders. Meanwhile, preparing delay claims is a time consuming process that requires extensive resources. Facilitating this process will benefit both project parties. In this regard, this research presents a new systematic delay analysis technique that is capable of evaluating concurrent delays, while considering the critical path of the project. The developed technique precisely allocates delays among the different project parties. The technique is tested against a hypothetical case to highlight its advantages and limitations, in comparison to existing delay analysis methods. In support of the proposed technique, a robust expert system is designed to classify the different types of delays, as well as to offer recommendations on delays or delaying events. The expert system and the proposed delay analysis technique are integrated with a scheduling software which accesses a project database. Likewise, an embedded feature of computing associated costs enhances the capability of the system. The developed system assist the analyst to reduce the time and cost associated with delay claim preparation in a systematic approach. Finally, the reliability of the integrated system is validated through a real case.

Download or read book Quantification of Delay and Disruption in Construction and Engineering Projects written by Robert Gemmell and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delay and disruption often impacts entire projects and is prevalent throughout the entire construction and engineering industries - no project or construction professional is immune to the effects. This book is aimed at any construction professional anywhere in the world who is involved in preparing, assessing, managing and/or deciding issues concerning the assessment of additional time to complete the work, and also additional payment for delay and/or disruption to the progress of a construction or engineering project. Delay and disruption is endemic in the construction industry and leads to time and cost overruns. It is therefore essential that delays and/or disruptions are identified early so that corrective action can be taken. However, when delay and/or disruption actually occurs, the issue of quantifying the period of any delay, the effects of disruption, and the quantification of the resulting loss during, and especially at the end, of a project is complicated.

Download or read book Causation and Delay in Construction Disputes written by Nicholas J. Carnell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-08-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building contract claims for more time on projects represent one of the largest sources of dispute within the industry. However, identifying the causes of delays, and the effects they have on the project, is often difficult and the burden on the party seeking to prove delay is a heavy one. This book provides the construction professional with an analysis of how construction projects become delayed, the practical measures which can be taken to avoid such delays, and how the parties can protect their positions in the face of delays. It goes on to look at the requirements for producing a successful claim. It provides a straightforward guide to the legal issues, and also considers how the effects of delays can most practically be addressed. The Second Edition takes account of new case law since 1999, and has new sections on adjudication, risk allocations and the Society of Construction Law Delay Protocol. Very well received when it was first published, the book is aimed particularly at contractors, project managers and senior surveyors, but will also be of interest to construction lawyers.
