What does this course cover?

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.

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.
