Service description

We provide construction delay claims consulting and forensic schedule analysis services, including Time Impact Analysis (TIA), Window Analysis, Impacted As-Planned, As-Planned vs. As-Built, and Collapsed As-Built (But-For Analysis).

Our delay claims experts support contractors, owners, and legal teams across the USA in preparing defensible extension of time claims and resolving complex schedule disputes.
We analyze project schedules, change orders, RFIs, and contemporaneous records to identify delay events, establish critical path impacts, and quantify time extensions.

Our services support claim preparation, dispute resolution, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation.
We serve projects across New York, Seattle, Fort Worth, New Jersey, Portland, and nationwide.

WHY DELAY CLAIMS SERVICES

Construction delay claims are among the most complex and high-risk areas in project delivery. Without structured forensic schedule analysis, parties risk either losing valid entitlement to time extensions or absorbing avoidable costs and liabilities.

A professional delay claims consultant ensures that delays are evaluated using recognized forensic methodologies and supported with clear, evidence-based documentation. This strengthens the credibility of claims, supports fair contract administration, and reduces disputes between contractors and owners.

Our approach provides clarity on delay responsibility, schedule impact, and entitlement to extensions of time, helping all project stakeholders make informed and defensible decisions.

HOW DELAY CLAIMS SERVICES WORKS

We begin by reviewing the project baseline schedule, updated schedules, contract documents, change orders, RFIs, and all relevant project records to establish a complete timeline of events.

Next, we apply the most appropriate forensic delay analysis method based on the contract requirements and available data. This may include Time Impact Analysis (TIA), Window Analysis, As-Planned vs. As-Built, Impacted As-Planned, or Collapsed As-Built (But-For Analysis).
We develop detailed frag-net analyses where required, linking specific change orders, RFIs, and delay events to their impact on the critical path. We then quantify delay periods, determine responsibility, and evaluate entitlement to extension of time.

Finally, we prepare a comprehensive delay claims report that includes the original schedule, impacted schedule scenarios, critical path analysis, narrative explanation of delay events, methodology used, and final conclusions. Our team also supports negotiation and dispute resolution with project stakeholders and legal counsel when required. See Projects
