General Challenge
When delays or site changes occur during construction, determining time impacts objectively requires systematic factual record keeping and disciplined schedule analysis methodology.
Demonstration Approach & Workflow
An illustrative workflow for schedule delay analysis and recovery planning:
- Factual Record Consolidation: Reviewing daily logs, site records, submittal logs, and instruction notices.
- As-Built Schedule Updating: Recording verified actual start/finish dates and progress status across affected activities.
- Time Impact Modeling: Simulating delay events within the network schedule to measure net critical path movement.
- Recovery Plan Formulation: Exploring logic adjustments, parallel execution paths, and targeted resource additions to recover milestones.
Typical Deliverables & Monitoring Items
- Chronological Delay Event Summary & Schedule Impact Assessment
- Milestone Catch-Up Program & Implementation Action Plan
- Forward-Looking Time Risk Mitigation Recommendations
