Details

Delay and disruption are endemic in the construction industry and result in time and cost overruns. It is therefore essential that delays and/or disruptions are identified early, so that corrective action can be taken.

However, when delay and/or disruption actually occurs, the issue of quantifying the period of delay, the effects of disruption, and the quantification of the resulting loss is complicated.

This book is a practical guide to the quantification of loss caused by delay and disruption. It is relevant to construction professionals in Australia and internationally, and provides a review and analysis of:

The planning and programming of a construction project;
The primary methods of delay analysis; and
The methods to quantify financial loss caused by delay and by disruption.

New developments in the Second Edition include:

DD Quantum Expert App will be referenced throughout the book to assist the readers’ understanding of how to quantify the contractor’s financial entitlement due to delay and/or disruption;
References to the ASCE Standard, ANSI/ASCE/CI 67-17, Schedule Delay Analysis (2017, American Society of Civil Engineers) to further explain the various methods of delay analysis;
More detailed examination of the various methods of delay analysis will be provided;
Relevant case law since the First Edition published in 2017; and
Additional case law scenarios throughout the book based on both Australian and international case law.

“The new additions in this Second Edition will … cement this book as a leading ‘go to’ text in this complex and all-important area of construction and engineering. (He is) is to be congratulated on the substantial additions to his first edition.” – From the Foreword, Hon. Peter Vickery QC
