Forensic Delay Analysis

When a project finishes late, the financial consequences are significant. Determining exactly who is responsible requires a forensic look back at the project record. We untangle complex schedule data to provide an objective, evidence-based account of what truly delayed the project.

Core Capabilities

  • Method Selection: Utilizing industry-standard techniques such as "As-Built vs. As-Planned," "Windows Analysis," or "Time Impact Analysis."
  • Document Review: Sifting through thousands of RFIs, daily logs, and emails to build a chronological "fact-map" of project events.
  • Productivity Analysis: Quantifying the impact of disruptions, such as excessive changes or weather events, on labor productivity.
  • Expert Testimony: Providing clear, concise, and defensible reports and testimony for use in mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

Our Methodology

We follow a “Data-Driven Truth” philosophy. We don’t take sides; we follow the logic of the schedule and the project record to produce a report that stands up to the most rigorous cross-examination.

The Process

1

Investigation

Gathering all project schedules, correspondence, and meeting minutes to establish the data baseline.

2

Reconstruction

Building an accurate “As-Built” schedule that reflects actual start and finish dates on the ground.

3

Analysis

Comparing the “As-Built” against the “As-Planned” to isolate specific events that impacted the critical path.

4

Opinion

Delivering a formal report that allocates delay responsibility and quantifies the time and cost impacts.
