It is possible to meet construction claims in all construction projects. Why do Construction Claims occur? Clients, contractors, and subcontractors of this environment try... Continue Reading →
What is Concurrent Delay in Construction Claims? The term “concurrent delay” is commonly used to describe circumstances where different causes of delay overlap during a period of time. Concurrent delay could occur if a delay that was caused by the owner is on the same activity path or a parallel activity path as a delay... Continue Reading →
This article addresses the concepts of some typical delay analysis methods in construction claims. Why do we need Delay Analysis in Construction Claims? Because The Delay Must Affect The Critical Path The Construction Contracts often state that no adjustment to the critical milestones dates or the scheduled completion dates would be made unless the delay...

The Driving Relationship is determined based on the Relationship Free Float and the business rules for Driving Relationships. Relationship Free Float Relationship Free Float (Rel FF): The Free Float on the relationship. Calculated as Successor Early Start (assuming a Finish to Start relationship) - Relationship Early Finish on the predecessors' calendar. This field is computed... Continue Reading →
In Primavera P6, when we use "longest path" option to determine the critical path, the process to determine the longest path is as follows: The longest path activities are determined by reviewing the schedule backwards (starting from the last activity) through the driving relationships; If the relationship between two activities is driving, then both activities...

In the schedule update of Primavera P6, there are occasionally gaps (empty spaces) between the actual bars and the remaining bars as illustrated in picture below. The reasons and solutions for the issue are described in this article. Reason 1: Primavera P6 schedules and displays the activities on Gantt chart in a very detailed and... Continue Reading →
In Primavera P6 Schedule Options, there are 2 options for "Calculate start-to-start lag from". The purpose of these option is described below.

Microsoft Project version 2013 or later provide a function named "Task Path" to highlight the driving predecessor or successor in gantt chart but not provide a function to filter the activity. We can create a macro to filter activity based on "Task Path" function. Go to View -> Macros -> Visual Basic Right click on... Continue Reading →
What is Concurrent Delay? The term “concurrent delay” is commonly used to describe circumstances where owner-caused delays and contractor-caused delays occur at the same time. In true concurrency, the owner and contractor delay events (the cause of delay) both occur at the same time and the delay caused by the delay events start and finish... Continue Reading →
