What is construction delay analysis?

Construction delay analysis is the process of investigating and determining the causes and impacts of delays in construction projects. This involves assessing project schedules, identifying critical path activities, and quantifying the effects of delays on project completion. Delay analysis helps stakeholders understand the reasons for disruptions, allocate responsibility, and resolve disputes related to time extensions or financial claims. Professionals use various methods, such as critical path method (CPM) and forensic schedule analysis, to conduct thorough and objective evaluations.
