“…Time impact analysis. Arditi (2006) comments on the usefulness of each of these concluding that time impact analysis is the most reliable. Despite this, the choice of methodology can be influenced by a variety of factors, most notably, the availability of records (Braimah, 2008).…”

It is probable that a construction project anywhere in the world will encounter some form of delay as a consequence of change. The impact of the delay on a project will vary, but it is likely to have a negative financial outcome. Compensation can be requested by an affected party in the form of a claim; however, issues of liability and quantum can be difficult given the ever increasing complexity of construction work involving numerous differing successive parallel tasks with varying levels of interrelated resources. Experts are often employed to analyse delays based on project records and report their findings to a tribunal. This paper identifies the difficulties associated with the retrieval and representation of information for delay claims and recognises technological opportunities to deal with these challenges. The potential to exploit aspects of BIM to support these possibilities are discussed, concluding that it can assist through the ease of access to coordinated contemporaneous project information and the use of visualisation through multiple dimensions. In order to support this initiative a detailed review of the literature is undertaken which forms part of an Engineering Doctorate.

“…To minimize this dispute, [13] recommended the use of schedule as contract document. In addition to that, a fair and effective evaluation of delay impact is possible if the most appropriate delay analysis method is selected [14]. Arbitration, litigation and total abandonment seem to be the least frequent effects of construction delay.…”

Abstract-Construction industry in Malaysia is facing a serious issue of construction delay causing a significant amount of time over run and cost over run. Various studies have addressed the issue of construction delay, however, most of studies focused on identifying causes of delay. Less attention has been paid of assessing effects of construction delay. Hence this study is aimed to assess effects of construction delay on MARA large projects. Investigation approach for study includes the site study of 30 MARA large projects selected from various areas of Malaysia and structured questionnaire survey among client, consultant and contractor personnel's. It is important to note that 90% of MARA projects are experiencing time overrun. Data was analyzed with statistical analysis to calculate rank of the effects of delays and correlation with spearman formula to identify the interrelationship between attributes of effects. Results showed that time over-run and cost over-run are most significant effects of delay on MARA construction projects. Time over-run has high degree of correlation with cost over-run and moderate degree of correlation with disputes.

“…Based on the reviews by previous studies (Bubshait and Cunningham 1998;Arditi and Pattanakitchamroon 2006;Mohan and Al-Gahtani 2006;Yang and Kao 2009) and this study, four methodologies (as-planned expanded technique, but-for technique, window analysis technique, and isolated collapsed as-built delay analysis) are selected for evaluating their abilities in lost productivity calculation. Table 1 shows the evaluation results.…”

“…For solving the second cause, several studies have proposed various innovative schedule delay analysis methodologies or improved existed methodologies, i.e. global impact, net impact, adjusted as-built CPM (Critical Path Method), as-planned expanded, but-for, snapshot, time impact, windows, isolated delay type techniques and isolated collapsed but-for delay analysis methodology (Bubshait and Cunningham 1998;Arditi and T. Pattanakitchamroon 2006;Yang and Kao 2009). However, most of the methodologies focused on the analysis of surface th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC 2010) data (as-planned and as-built schedules), few of them on evaluating the effects of root causes.…”

Schedule delays commonly appear in construction projects and result in delay claim progressively. Several studies have proposed various schedule delay analysis methodologies, however, most of the studies focused on the analysis of surface data (as-planned and as-built schedules), few of them on evaluating the effects of root causes, such as lost productivity. Loss of productivity is usually experienced by a contractor while accomplishing its works less than planned rate of production. Based on the literature review on lost productivity, this study further evaluated delay analysis methodologies, professional project management software and commercial delay analysis software to identify the capabilities of those methodologies and systems in dealing with the problem of lost productivity. Research results show that evaluated delay analysis methodologies, professional project management software and commercial delay analysis software cannot deal with the problem of lost productivity appropriately. That is, developing a comprehensive delay analysis method considering lost productivity is required.
