Types of Schedule Delay Consulting Services
Our expert schedule delay analysis consultants deliver the following types of construction schedule delay services.
Excusable Delay
Excusable delay is one of the major types of delays that require a contractor to demand more time to complete specific tasks like Window Delay Analysis. Such delays mainly occur due to several reasons that are not in the control of any contractor. We analyze more classification that is relevant to this delay and explained below:
- Few Delays are beyond the control of any contractor. They occur due to some natural circumstances like weather conditions, natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, etc.), wars or national crises, or any labor strike during the construction. Our expert schedule delay consultants extract time impact analysis and window delay analysis to most likely entitle the contractor to a specific time extension and consider as non-compensable delays.
- Few Delays occur by the owner or the designer (architect/engineer) to allows the contractor or recover the costs and time associated with the delay. It is also known as compensable delays.
Non-Excusable Delay
We do not show similar conditions to excusable delays and no contractor shows its involvement to have time extension or monetary compensation in non-excusable dealy. We assist contractors to expects this delay under normal conditions that are mentioned below.
Few conditions occur like slow mobilization, poor workmanship, labor strikes due to unfair labor practices, accidents in the project site caused by contractor’s negligence or lack of preparation. We evaluate that it might occur due to late delivery of equipment, cash-flow problems, adverse weather conditions, and lack of expert labor.
Concurrent Delay
In concurrent delay, we involve a combination of two or more independent causes of delay during a specific period. The two reasons behind this might be an excusable or non-excusable delay.
Few common scheduling mistakes occur in delay claims by contractors
Our schedule delay consultants have evaluated few mistakes that show involvement during delay claims, specifically in Construction delay claims. Below is the list of some common errors by contractors.
- Few baseline schedules do not show any logic.
- Those baseline schedules are built with dates, not with logical activities.
- Excess usage of constraints that cannot react to logic and other changes.
- Removal of footprints is also known as the as-built schedule. It neither has any impressions nor any baseline to compare its progress.
- Unreliable baseline schedules, no confirmation either it is legal or a binding document.
- Illogical errors in schedules during window delay analysis devalue the importance of the schedule and cause it to throw out of the court in any dispute.
- No periodic updates

Construction Delay Claim resolution

Our Dispute resolution is an effective alternative to a court system because it is lengthy, costly, and complicated. We also involve arbitration as an effective method in our delay claims.
Arbitration
Our expert schedule delay consultants utilize arbitration as a formal process and act as independent professional arbitrators. Our experts bind both parties without any enforcement power to reduce an enforceable judgment by a court of law.
Upload documents that define the scope of work (drawings, specifications). We will review and get back with a questionnaire about the project, quote and expected completion date.
How our CPM Schedules work for your delay claims?
Claimant delivers at least two CPM schedules, one without the change impact and one with effects, in a bid to prove that the change causes the claimed delay. At the same point, an investigator develops CPM schedules by representing how each factor is different from one another to mean the alleged delay. VTI Consultants help both resolve issues and use work breakdown structure (WBS) to deliver effective CPM Schedules.
Work Breakdown Structure
Our expert involves work breakdown structure while delivering Schedule Delay Analysis. Work breakdown structure (WBS) is helpful to store and unify all the documentation and data for each construction feature. It is a task-oriented, comprehensive breakdown of activities that involves graphical displays of the total work to achieve the project’s final objective. We use the WBS method to direct an extensive detail of the project.
