FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical delay analysis take?

The duration of a delay analysis can vary depending on the project's complexity and the extent of delays. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Experts work efficiently to provide timely results while ensuring thorough analysis.

Can delay analysis be used proactively during a project?

What documentation is needed for an effective delay analysis?

Key documentation includes detailed project schedules, daily reports, correspondence between parties, change orders, and any records of external factors (like weather data). The more comprehensive and accurate the documentation, the more effective the analysis will be.
