Delay & Time Impact Analysis
Delays are inevitable; how they are analyzed and presented is what determines whether you recover time and cost. Constructive’s delay and time impact analysis starts with a careful review of your contract language, notice requirements, and scheduling specifications. We then examine the approved baseline and subsequent schedule updates to understand how the critical path evolved over time.
Using this structure, we test specific events such as late approvals, design issues, scope changes, access restrictions, or unforeseen conditions. For prospective impacts, we model time impact analyses by inserting fragnet logic into the current update and measuring the change in project completion. For retrospective analysis, we compare planned versus actual progress to isolate which events truly affected the critical path and by how much.
The findings are translated into clear, owner-facing narratives and exhibits. You receive schedule graphics, impact tables, and plain-language explanations that connect documented events to measured delay. This supports Extension of Time requests, change order negotiations, and, when needed, formal claims or dispute resolution, with a consistent logic trail that can withstand scrutiny.
1 pre-construction phase
A successful project starts with a solid foundation. At Constructive, we meticulously manage all aspects of the pre-construction phase to ensure smooth project execution. Through strategic planning, risk assessment, and effective stakeholder engagement, we set the groundwork for success.
Project Objectives: Define clear goals and deliverables.
Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies.
Resource Allocation: Optimize labor, equipment, and financial resources for efficiency.
Conceptual Design: Our architects and engineers collaborate to develop a design that aligns with the client’s vision and project requirements.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure designs meet local building codes, zoning regulations, and environmental standards to obtain necessary permits.
Value Engineering: Explore cost-effective alternatives without compromising quality by evaluating materials and construction methodologies.
Procurement Strategy: Determine the best procurement approach—whether traditional, design-build, or construction management.
Supplier & Contractor Selection: Conduct competitive bidding, evaluating potential partners based on cost, experience, and capability.
Contract Negotiation: Secure contracts with clear terms and conditions aligned with project objectives.
Identifying Stakeholders: Engage clients, authorities, suppliers, and community groups early in the process.
Engagement & Communication: Maintain transparent communication with all stakeholders to align expectations and address concerns.
Expectation Management: Strategize to balance stakeholder interests and project goals effectively.
2 construction phase
Our construction management approach focuses on progress tracking, resource optimization, and cost control to ensure a smooth and timely project delivery.
Scheduling: Develop a detailed project schedule using advanced project management tools to
track progress.
Progress Tracking: Monitor work completion against the schedule and take corrective action as needed.
Resource Allocation: Efficiently assign labor, materials, and equipment to prevent delays.
Time-Cost Management: Assess the financial impact of schedule changes to maintain budget control.
Budgeting: Establish a comprehensive budget covering all costs, including materials, labor, and contingencies.
Cost Tracking: Monitor expenditures and implement control measures to preventoverruns.
Change Orders: Document and manage scope changes to maintain financial accountability.
Cost Reporting: Provide stakeholders with detailed financial reports to ensure transparency.
Contract Administration: Ensure adherence to contractual agreements between all involved parties.
Documentation: Maintain organized records of contracts, change orders, and payment requests.
Dispute Resolution: Manage conflicts effectively through negotiation or mediation when necessary.
Payment Management: Implement structured payment processes tied to project milestones.
Quality Control: Continuously monitor work quality to meet project specifications and industry standards.
3 post construction phase
This final stage ensures a smooth transition from construction to operation, providing clients with a fully functional and defect-free facility.
Final Inspections: Conduct thorough testing to ensure systems function as intended.
Substantial Hand-Over & Beneficial Occupancy: Facilitate the official handover of the facility for full client operation.
Completion: Ensure all project deliverables are met.
Hand-Over: Transfer project responsibility to the client with full documentation.
Project Close-Out: Conduct final evaluations to confirm all requirements are satisfied.
Warranty Period: Continue providing support as per the agreed-upon terms.
