Capability
Delay & Disruption Analysis
Analyse delay and, where the records support it, disruption — including concurrency issues — from the contemporaneous project file rather than a rebuilt cartoon.
C02 — The problem
The technical problem
Delay analysis answers why completion (or a milestone) moved. Disruption analysis, where alleged, ties productivity loss to sequence and evidence. Concurrency is usually a finding inside the same assignment, not a separate analysis product.
This capability is the analytical assignment. Extension of Time is the contractual product that may use it. TIA is one method that may be used inside it. Concurrent delay is analysed here as an issue where it arises.
C03 — Engagement
When this capability is needed
-
01
Retrospective delay
Completion has moved and the story must be evidenced.
-
02
Disruption allegation
Productivity loss is claimed and needs a factual/sequence basis.
-
03
Concurrency
Both parties’ events sit on the path and apportionment is in issue.
-
04
Defense
The other side’s delay narrative does not match the contemporaneous files.
C04 — Scope / method
How the work is approached
Delay analysis and, where instructed and supported, disruption. Concurrent delay is analysed inside this assignment. Quantum of prolongation cost is a separate assignment.
-
01
Preserve and characterise the record
Which programmes, diaries, and notices exist.
-
02
Select methods that the record can support
TIA, windows, as-built, or others — stated, not branded as a house method.
-
03
Analyse delaying events
Effect on the dates that matter, including concurrency where it arises.
-
04
Test disruption where in scope
Evidence of interference with planned sequence or productivity, not adjectives.
-
05
Report findings and limits
What the file supports and what it does not.
C05 — Outputs
Typical deliverables
| Output | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Delay analysis report | Methods, programmes, events, and findings. |
| Programme set | Files actually relied upon. |
| Concurrency note | Where both parties’ events interact, if in issue. |
| Disruption note | Only if instructed and the evidence exists. |
| Limitations | Gaps that affect confidence. |
C06 — Decision value
What this work is used to decide
What delay case (and disruption case, if any) the contemporaneous file will support, for submission, assessment, or defense. Findings are technical; entitlement is for counsel and the contract.
C08 — Project environments
Relevant project environments
C09 — Who we support
Who commonly needs this capability
C10 — Boundaries
Important distinctions
Analysis does not replace counsel or guarantee a tribunal result. Concurrent delay is analysed within this assignment.
