Delay Claims Analysis
Description
Delays are an inevitable part of construction, but not all delays are created equal. Delay claims arise when unforeseen events push back the project timeline, potentially leading to requests for additional time or compensation. MDCD Corporation specializes in preparing and analyzing delay claims to ensure clients are fairly compensated for excusable delays—those caused by factors outside their control, such as design changes or unforeseen site conditions
Our approach includes:
- Identifying Delay Causes: We distinguish between excusable delays (e.g., owner-driven changes) and non-excusable delays (e.g., contractor inefficiencies).
- Impact Assessment: Using CPM schedules, we quantify how delays affect the project’s critical path and overall timeline.
- Cost Calculation: We help calculate the financial impact of delays, including extended overhead, labor, and equipment costs.
With our expertise, clients can confidently navigate the complexities of delay claims and protect their bottom line.
