Construction delays [electronic resource] documenting causes, winning claims, recovering costs
Trauner, Theodore J.
Construction delays documenting causes, winning claims, recovering costs [electronic resource] - 2nd ed. - Butterworth Heinemann 2009 - eBook
Project Scheduling -- Types of Construction Delays -- Measuring Delays?The Basics -- Delay Analysis Using Bar Chart Schedules -- Delay Analysis Using No Schedules -- Other Analysis Techniques: Their Strengths and Weaknesses -- The Owner's Damages Due to Delay -- The Contractor's Damages Due to Delay -- Home Office Overhead -- Inefficiency Caused by Delay -- Acceleration -- Other Categories of Delay Damages -- Determining Responsibility for Delay -- Risk Management
This eBook 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. The discussion included 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.
