1. What is Delay Start-up Insurance (DSU)? Delay in start-up (DSU) cover is designed to secure the portion of revenue which the owner: Requires to service debt; andRealize anticipated profit. It provides protection against delays arising from physical damage caused by any type of peril included in the relevant material damage cover, i.e. the Contractors'... Continue Reading →
Basic Concepts and Principles of Construction Claims
1. Introduction 1.1. Construction Claims What is Construction Claims? A construction claim is the assertion of a right demanding either additional time or/and payment due to the result of an action. 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 →
Concurrent Delay and Pacing Delay in Construction Claims
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 →
Typical Delay Analysis Methods in Construction Claims
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...

Concurrent Delay and Pacing Delay in Construction Project
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 →
Forensic / Delay Schedule Analysis – Summary Graphic Report in 1 Page
After finishing Delay analysis in Primavera P6 or MS Project, we need to make a summary graphic report for high-level manager. They do not read detail report like this: They'd like to see a report like this: Summary Forensic / Delay Schedule Analysis - Summary Graphic Report Time Impacted Analysis (in Multi Base /Window) Time...

How to perform Collapsed As-Built / As-Built But-For Schedule Delay Analysis in Primavera P6
Introduction An Collapsed As-Built / As-Built But-For Schedule Delay Analysis (ABBF) is a retrospective CPM schedule delay analysis technique that determines the earliest date that the required project completion activity, or various milestone activities could have been achieved but-for the owner-caused delays that occurred during the project. The amount of owner-caused delay determined from the ABBF Schedule... Continue Reading →
Benefit of using Primavera P6 in Delay Analysis
Primavera P6 software can be very useful in delay analysis work. Some of the benefits are described as follows. 1. Filter which activity affect the critical milestones There could be many delay events happened in a project and each delay event affects certain activities. What are the delay events or activities impacting the critical milestones?... Continue Reading →
Delay Analysis report in Primavera P6: Hide Baseline dates in Delay Event project
We have a report showing Delay Event project and Baseline project. The Baseline project need to show Baseline date so we can compare Baseline date and Impacted date. However we don't need to show Baseline date in Delay Event project which is meaningless and confusing. However by default, Primavera P6 always shows "something" in Baseline... Continue Reading →
Impacted As-Planned Delay Analysis : Using Primavera P6 to see combined / consolidated effect from some or all delay events
Suppose that the project have 5 delay events. If we need to see a combined effect of delay event 1 and delay event 2, we have to create a new project and insert those delay events. Then if we need to see a combined effect of delay event 1 and delay event 3, we have... Continue Reading →
How to perform Impacted As-Planned Delay Analysis in Primavera P6
The Impacted As-Planned method measures the impact of the delays on the as-planned schedule. The delays are formulated as activities and added to the as-planned schedule showing the effect of each delay and demonstrating how the project is being delayed. The amount of delay equals the difference in completion dates between the schedules before and after the impacts. We have... Continue Reading →
