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.
