Title & Abstract
How to Choose the Most Suitable Methodology to Assess Construction Schedule Delays?
Construction projects often experience schedule delays. Schedule delay experts often bear the burden of selecting the appropriate delay methodology to analyze and quantify schedule delays, and concurrent delay.
However, selecting the most adequate methodology remains a subject of controversy.
This presentation will walk through the different delay methodologies outlined in AACE RP 29R-03, and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, their sources validation protocols and try to establish a practical method to choose the adequate MIP.
While the industry seems to hold that dynamic methods are better suited for complex projects with longer performance periods, some experts hold that static methods can be used for simple projects with short performance periods for cost efficiency purposes.
In this presentation, you’ll explore how and why to select a schedule delay method.
