Construction Schedule Delays, 2021 ed.

Construction Schedule Delays bridges many divides in construction disputes, affecting proof of liability and damages and requiring both legal and technical acumen to apply correctly and consistently. As a result, the field represents one of the more complicated subsets of construction law.

Co-authored by a construction lawyer and an engineer, this work deftly connects both the legal and technical aspects of the topic from an easy-to-understand but detailed presentation of law and examples. 

With more than 1,000 pages, this work represents one of the most comprehensive treatises on the subject.

Features include:

• A discussion of the major delay analysis methods in use today.
• Reviews of legal aspects of other critical topics, such as basics of CPM scheduling, concurrent delay, and constructive acceleration.
• A comparison of 14 different schedule delay analysis methods — all applied to the same fact pattern — analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.
• More than 263 case references to specific schedule delay analysis methods, summarizing the legal acceptance of each method, a review of industry guidance on the subject, and recommended guidelines for schedule delay analysis. 
• A comprehensive review of more than 303 disruption cases spanning six chapters and covering court and board acceptability of methods for proving disruption.
