Introduction

Delay in construction schedules has now become almost an epidemic in construction projects. The user loses the use of the facility and applies liquidated damages against the contractor, who then claims that such delay is due to the employer claiming for damage compensation and requesting time extensions. Any Time Extension Request must stand entirely on its own merit, be well analyzed and emphasized, properly documented, and fully substantiated so that there is no question about the validity of the request.

Objectives

This 5-day course will provide in-depth understanding of the concepts and art of preparing and defending Time Extension Requests. It will also present a base understanding of scheduling techniques used in delay analysis. The course covers the basic concepts of delay, tracking delays, mitigating delays, the baseline schedule, as well as analyzing the effect of delay on the baseline schedule. In addition, it gives a detailed guide to preparing a comprehensive Extension of Time Request, including the prolongation and disruption costs.
