Delay Analysis
Independent, evidence-based delay analysis to support Extension of Time claims and protect your position on programme.
Evidence-Based Delay Assessment
When a project runs late, understanding why — and who is responsible — is critical. Whether you are pursuing an Extension of Time claim or defending against one, a robust, well-evidenced delay analysis is essential.
We provide independent delay analysis services that are grounded in the programme record and the facts of the project. Our analysis is clear, methodical, and presented in a way that is accessible to all parties — from project managers to legal teams.
We have experience working in NEC and JCT contract environments and understand the specific requirements and obligations that apply to delay events and compensation events under each form of contract.

Delay Analysis Methods
We select the most appropriate methodology for your project and the available programme records, in line with the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol.
As-Planned vs As-Built
Comparing the original programme against the as-built record to identify where delays occurred and their impact on completion.
Time Impact Analysis
Prospective or retrospective assessment of how specific delay events impacted the programme at the time they occurred.
Collapsed As-Built
Removing delay events from the as-built programme to demonstrate what completion date would have been achieved without them.
Windows Analysis
Dividing the project into time windows to analyse delay events and their cumulative impact on the programme.
