Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Delay Analysis Tips & Tricks
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 →
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...

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...

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 →
In Primavera we can work with multiple projects at the same time. We have a Program contain 2 projects : Project 1 and Project 2. Each project has its own critical path. And when we open 2 projects, by default Primavera show 2 critical paths. What if we want to show only 1 critical path for the... Continue Reading →
In Primavera, when we filter critical path, it only show 1 critical path. In complicated project, we might need to show some more "near critical" path. I will show you how to do it. We have a simple project like this: Press F9 - Click on Option Click on "Advanced" tab, Check "Calculate multiple float... Continue Reading →
In Primavera we can define Critial activities by 2 option: There are many reasons why we should choose Longest Path instead of Total Float. One of the reason is that when our project has multiple calendar. We have 4 activities which have same calendar : Standard 5 day workweek. We use Total Float to calculate... Continue Reading →
Oracle Primavera P6 offers two ways to define a critical activity in a project schedule. These are: Total Float less than or equal to [0.0h] Longest Path Which one you use depends on three things. 1. the setting you choose in the Project view’s Settings tab: 2. the setting you choose in the Schedule Options... Continue Reading →
In Primavera when we use the default "Critical" filter, it will show the critical path for the whole project (for the last activity). How about if we want to show critical path for an activity which is somewhere in middle of project, not the last one. In this case we can use "Multiple float paths"... Continue Reading →
Let’s celebrate by buying Khuong Do a cup of coffee :-)
