Construction delays are among the most common causes of cost overruns, contractual disputes, and project claims. Identifying the root causes of delays and accurately assessing their impact is essential for effective project management and successful dispute resolution. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Forensic Delay Analysis, enabling participants to scientifically investigate project delays using internationally recognized methodologies and industry best practices.

Participants will explore the principles of construction scheduling, Critical Path Method (CPM), and the role of project records in forensic investigations. The course covers widely accepted delay analysis techniques, including Time Impact Analysis (TIA), Window Analysis, As-Planned vs. As-Built Analysis, and Critical Path Analysis, helping learners determine the cause, responsibility, and time impact of delay events.

Through practical examples and real-world case studies, learners will understand how to collect and evaluate project documentation, analyze schedule updates, assess concurrent delays, prepare Extension of Time (EOT) claims, and develop technically sound forensic reports. The course also introduces best practices for presenting delay analyses in contractual negotiations, arbitration, mediation, and legal proceedings.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to perform professional forensic delay analyses, prepare defensible delay reports, support construction claims, and contribute effectively to dispute resolution processes. This course is ideal for project managers, planning and scheduling engineers, claims consultants, contract managers, quantity surveyors, forensic experts, and construction professionals seeking to strengthen their expertise in construction delay analysis and claims management.
