Abstract: Major construction projects, due to their increasing complexity -especially those involving rehabilitation and renovation - may undergo considerable deviation from the baseline schedule over the project life cycle. With the recent intensification of delay analysis clauses in public sector projects contracts, presenting the most defendable forensic schedule analysis supported by an accurate evaluation of the time and cost impacts of the delay is becoming increasingly crucial. One of our clients, publicly funded, has recently changed its contractual requirements for the delay analysis by adding the following clause to its RFP documents:
"a request for extension of time must be submitted and supported by a schedule delay analysis using a method defined in AACE International Recommended Practice 29R-03 - Forensic Schedule Analysis (dated April 25, 2011). …" This paper focuses on the case study of two projects, and highlights the approach in selecting the most defendable delay analysis method based on the AACE International Recommended Practice No. 29R-03.
