MANAGEMENT
DELAY
Our delay experts all come from a practical background
in the construction and engineering industry, which
means their forensic analysis is based on solid
knowledge, and ensures they provide credible evidence
during testimony. They are instructed on high profile
domestic and international disputes, and are familiar
with industry standards and protocols.
Our experts demystify the delay analysis process
by presenting their findings in a robust and
understandable manner. We use the most appropriate
method of analysis, depending on the unique
circumstances of each appointment, its jurisdiction,
and whether a retrospective or prospective approach is
required.
For live projects where a prospective approach is most
appropriate, methodologies include:
Time Impact Analysis
Time Slice Windows Analysis (prospective critical
path and prospective delay events)
For completed projects where a retrospective
approach is the most appropriate, methodologies
include:
Time Slice Windows Analysis (prospective critical
path and as-built delay events)
As-Planned v As-Built Windows Analysis
Retrospective Longest Path Analysis
Collapsed As-Built
Our experts will determine either the contemporaneous
or the as-built critical path(s) through a project,
identifying the individual delay events and their effect
upon planned completion, the events which cause
disruption, float, the occurrence of concurrent delay
events, and the effect of acceleration and mitigation
measures, They ensure the delivery of concise reports
that distil the complex field of delay analysis into
coherent and unambiguous written submissions and
oral testimony, robust enough to withstand challenge.

TECHNICAL
Disputes often include complex technical
issues, and instructing an appropriately
qualified and experienced technical expert
is essential. This includes the cause and
impact of technical matters within an often
elaborate matrix of fact and opinion.
Our technical experts are able to provide clear
and concise opinion on issues relating to all
stages of the project lifecycle, from design,
workmanship and construction through to posthandover maintenance.
Our areas of technical expertise include:
Architecture
Civil Engineering
Structural Engineering
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
Power and Environmental Engineering
Our technical experts are complemented by
a wider team of technical and non-technical
assistants which can be coordinated and scaled
to suit the requirements of the instruction. This
enables reports to be efficiently produced and
accessible for a non-technical audience.
