Course Overview:

The Mastering Delay Analysis in Construction Contracts Training Course equips professionals with advanced Methods to navigate and analyze delays in construction projects. Participants will learn to identify construction delays, understand the delay claim life cycle, and use industry-standard techniques to resolve project delays effectively. The course covers practical methodologies such as As-Planned vs. As-Built analysis, forensic schedule analysis, and the application of the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol. Through case studies and interactive sessions, professionals will master delay analysis techniques while adhering to construction contract compliance and mitigating risks in construction projects.

Target Audience:

Project Managers in the construction industry
Contract Managers and Construction Lawyers
Delay Analysts and Forensic Schedulers
Construction Engineers involved in project planning
Quantity Surveyors and Claims Consultants

Targeted Organizational Departments:

Project Management and Planning Departments
Construction Legal and Claims Teams
Engineering and Operations Management
Contract Administration and Compliance Departments

Targeted Industries:

Construction and Infrastructure Development
Real Estate and Property Management
Engineering and Architectural Firms
Oil and Gas Infrastructure Projects
Government and Municipal

Course Offerings:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Identify and analyze construction delays and delay claim life cycles.
Effectively apply CPM programming techniques and validate project baselines.
Perform As-Planned vs. As-Built analysis and handle concurrent delays.
Implement the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol and conduct forensic schedule analysis.
Mitigate delays through acceleration strategies, manage total float, and prepare claims using electronic records.

Training Methodology:

This course will use case studies, group discussions, and workshops to teach delay analysis techniques. Participants will analyze real construction projects, learn critical path methods (CPM) and disruption analysis, practice negotiation, and work with project data to handle delays effectively.

Course Toolbox:

ebooks on delay analysis techniques
Templates for baseline validation, total float management, and programme approval
Checklists for disruption and delay claims
