Description

Recommended for project managers.

Developing a realistic construction schedule is a key component of successful completion of construction projects. Successful project schedule requires practical project duration and frequent updates. Proper implementation of a project schedule is also essential to ongoing management of a construction project, and it’s critically important in establishing time-related claims. Today, construction schedules have significant legal implication on any construction project.

Topics covered include: 

• Definitions: Delay, Schedule compression and acceleration, Delay impact
• Types of Delays: Excusable/ non-compensable, Excusable/ compensable, Concurrent delay and pacing delay
• Delay Analysis: Bar chart analysis, As planned versus as-built, Impacted as planned, Schedule or collapsed CPM schedule, Contemporaneous window analysis
• Recoverable costs: Extended field overhead, Extended home office overhead, Loss of labor productivity, Labor and material escalation, Impact of schedule compression

In this course you will learn about the many effective tools and techniques for analyzing project schedule and time-related claims.
