Abstract: This paper addresses the issues involved in performing a delay analysis for a project with multiple prime contractors responsible for different aspects of construction.Issues that will be addressed include differences in approach depending upon whether the prime contractors have a common start date (as is common with some municipal work) or whether the multiple primes have differing start and completion dates as needed to suit the overall program. Topics include critical and non-critical delays, pacing delays, relative float, multiple concurrent delays, impacts to follow-on trades, and apportionment of delay between the individual primes and the owner. The paper addresses impacts resulting from change orders which directly impact the project critical path, and also considers the delay-related implications of shifting resources from critical path work to otherwise non-critical change order work.
