In the construction sector, delays and disruptions are common, which leads to time and expense overruns. Because of this, it's crucial to spot delays and/or interruptions quickly so that appropriate action can be done.
The problem of quantifying the length of the delay, the impacts of the disruption, and the quantification of the resulting loss is difficult, though, when delay and/or disruption really occur.
This book serves as a useful manual for calculating the cost of delay and disruption-related losses. The review and analysis cover the following topics, which are important to construction experts both domestically and abroad:
- the organising and scheduling of a building project;
- the main delay analysis techniques; and
- the techniques for calculating financial loss brought on by disturbance and delay.
In the Second Edition, there are new advances like:
- To help readers comprehend how to calculate the contractor's financial entitlement as a result of delay and/or disruption, references to the DD Quantum Expert App will be made often throughout the text.
- references to the 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Standard, ANSI/ASCE/CI 67-17, Schedule Delay Analysis, to further describe the various delay analysis techniques;
- There will be a more thorough analysis of the different delay analysis techniques;
- cases that have arisen since the publication of the First Edition in 2017; and
- The book contains more case law situations based on both Australian and foreign 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
