🚧 Key Delay Analysis Techniques Reviewed by Nuhu Braimah 🚧

This insightful paper dives deep into construction delay analysis, reviewing critical methods used for resolving claims and disputes in project management. These techniques help pinpoint responsibility for delays, but each has unique strengths and pitfalls that pros like schedulers in construction should master.
Impacted As-Planned: This method simulates delays by overlaying them onto the original baseline schedule, showing potential impacts without actual progress data. It’s quick but often criticized for ignoring real-world changes like logic revisions or as-built conditions.
As-Planned vs. As-Built: By comparing the planned critical path against what actually happened, it highlights variances. However, it relies heavily on subjective critical path selection and can be manipulated if records are incomplete.
Collapsed As-Built (But-for Method): Starts with the final as-built schedule and “collapses” out delays to reveal what the project duration would have been without them. It’s dynamic and evidence-based, yet demands precise as-built data and can be software-intensive.
Window Analysis (Time Impact Analysis): Divides the project into time “windows” based on schedule updates, analyzing delays within each period. Ideal for complex projects with frequent changes, but it’s labor-intensive and requires comprehensive update records.
The paper highlights common issues like handling concurrent delays, pacing, resource leveling, and software limitations urging better standards for reliable, equitable results. Essential reading for anyone using Primavera P6 or MS Project in Ethiopia’s construction scene!
