Planning Standards & Delay Analysis

Our work is built on industry best practices and recognized contractual protocols.

Sample Project Plan & Progress Update Standards

Project Plan (Baseline Requirements)
  • **WBS:** Defined to Level 3 minimum, integrating all work packages.
  • **Logic:** Fully networked schedule with clear predecessor and successor relationships.
  • **Critical Path:** Clearly identified and regularly reviewed using Total Float analysis.
  • **Resources:** Key resources and budget assigned to activities for Earned Value Management (EVM).
  • **Calendar:** Use of project-specific calendars (holidays, shifts) to accurately model time.
Progress Update Requirements
  • **Data Date:** Stated clearly for each submission.
  • **Actuals:** Physical progress (%) and Actual Start/Finish dates recorded.
  • **Narrative:** Concise summary of progress, variance to baseline, and forecast look-ahead.
  • **Forecasting:** Updated logic and remaining durations to reflect current conditions and anticipated delays.

Delay Analysis Methodology: SCL Protocol

Our forensic analysis adheres strictly to the Society of Construction Law (SCL) Delay and Disruption Protocol, providing objective, robust, and defensible evidence.

Key Methods Utilized:
►
Time Slice (or Snapshot) Analysis:

Prospective analysis of the remaining work based on periodic, updated schedules.

►
Window Analysis:

Window Analysis: Retrospective analysis dividing the project into defined time windows to identify critical delays as they occurred.

►
As-Built vs. As-Planned:

Comparison of the executed schedule against the original or updated baseline, used to identify delay events.

►
Impacted As-Planned:

Modeling the effect of delay events on the baseline schedule to demonstrate the cause-and-effect relationship.
