Forensic Delay Analyst

Overview

What You'Ll Be Doing

• Forensic Delay Analysis: Perform detailed retrospective delay analyses utilizing standard methodologies (e.g., As-Planned vs. As-Built, Impacted As-Planned, Time Impact Analysis, and Collapsed As-Built) as outlined by the SCL (Society of Construction Law) Delay and Disruption Protocol or AACE International.
• Critical Path Methodology (CPM): Interrogate and analyze baseline schedules, monthly updates, and revised programs to track critical path drift, near-critical paths, and concurrent delays.
• Claims Substantiation & Defense: Prepare, review, and evaluate complex Extension of Time (EoT) claims and disruption submissions. Draft detailed forensic schedule analysis reports and formal position papers to defend the project against third-party claims or substantiate client claims.
• Chronology Reconstruction: Reconstruct historical project progress using incomplete or legacy data, including daily reports, meeting minutes, correspondence, and progress photos to build unassailable fact-based timelines.
• Risk & Mitigation Tracking: Collaborate with Project Controls and Construction Management teams to identify emerging schedule risks early, assessing their potential impact on milestone dates and recommending mitigation strategies.
• Dispute Resolution Support: Provide expert technical support to project leadership and legal counsel during commercial negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, or litigation processes.
• Stakeholder Presentation: Communicate highly complex technical delay concepts, metrics, and conclusions into clear, visually impactful presentations for executive management, legal teams, and client representatives.
