Forensic delay analysis is a specialized process used to investigate the causes of delays in construction projects and determine their impact on the overall schedule.

This analysis aims to identify the specific factors that caused the delay, whether they were caused by the contractor, client, or external factors.

Forensic delay analysis typically involves reviewing:

• project schedules,
• construction logs,
• change orders, and
• other relevant documentation

to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to the delay.

This process also examines the extent to which the delays affected the project timeline and assesses potential liabilities for each party involved.

By identifying the root cause of delays and quantifying their impact, forensic delay analysis provides a clear and objective basis for resolving disputes, mitigating claims, and improving future project planning.

This analysis is invaluable for projects where there is a dispute over who is responsible for delays, and it helps ensure that all parties are held accountable for their actions.
