Fully Accredited Program Quantification of Delays and Disruptions in Construction and Engineering Projects

According to a seminal study by the Chartered Institute of Building, a staggering 75% of construction projects in the UK are plagued by delays and disruptions. These delays can have a devastating impact on the budget, adding an additional 20% to the overall cost of the project, emphasizing the critical need for effective management and quantification of these challenges to ensure project success and minimize financial losses.

This certified program is designed to equip participants with the expertise needed to navigate the complexities of delay analysis and disruption management. Throughout the program, participants will master a range of delay analysis methodologies, including forensic schedule analysis, time impact analysis, and productivity loss analysis techniques. These skills will enable professionals to accurately assess the impact of delays on project schedules, budgets, and resources, empowering them to make informed decisions and develop effective corrective action plans.

Participants will also gain a deep understanding of contractual provisions related to delays and disruptions, enabling them to effectively assess and navigate claims management and dispute resolution processes. The program will focus on developing the ability to identify the root causes of delays, such as inadequate planning, poor communication, scope creep, and resource constraints, allowing professionals to proactively address these issues and minimize their impact on project performance. In addition to mastering delay analysis techniques, participants will acquire expertise in drafting and interpreting delay-related contract clauses, managing claims documentation, and engaging in alternative dispute resolution methods.

Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, participants will gain practical experience in conducting thorough delay analysis, assessing the financial impact of disruptions, and developing corrective action plans. They will also learn how to implement contingency plans and adapt to changing project conditions, ensuring that projects remain on track and meet their objectives.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will be awarded with the Certification in Quantification of Delays and Disruptions in Construction and Engineering Projects that can be used in your professional credentials. Obtaining this certification will enhance your knowledge and skills required to analyze, evaluate and quantify the impact of delays and disruptions in complex projects.

What Can You Expect From This Live Program

The construction industry is plagued with delays, with 98% of projects experiencing some form of delay, according to Arcadis. With projects running an average of 20 months behind schedule, it's no surprise that construction disputes can cost up to $37 million for mega-projects and $19 million for large projects. Without proper quantification and management of delay and disruption, the risk of companies suffering from project overrun and financial losses is severe and it could cause major legal disputes or even reputation damage.

This certified program is designed to enhance your expertise and proficiency in identifying, quantifying, and managing delays and disruptions in construction and engineering projects. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of crucial topics in delay analysis methodologies, including forensic schedule analysis, time impact analysis, and productivity loss analysis. The program will delve into the intricacies of schedule delay analysis techniques, such as the As-Planned vs. As-Built method, the Impacted As-Planned method, and the Time Impact Analysis method. Furthermore, this program will thoroughly explore the various approaches used in quantifying delays and disruptions, including evaluation of delay types, cost implications, and their applicability across different project sectors and regions. You will learn how to accurately assess the impact of delays on project schedules, budgets, and resources, enabling you to make informed decisions and develop effective mitigation strategies.

With a focus on real-world case studies, this program will extensively cover a range of delay and disruption scenarios, including project-related delays, design changes, unforeseen site conditions, and supply chain disruptions. You will gain insights into the root causes of delays, such as inadequate planning, poor communication, scope creep, and resource constraints. Additionally, you will acquire the necessary skills to effectively assess and navigate contractual provisions, claims management, and dispute resolution processes related to delays and disruptions. The program will provide guidance on drafting and interpreting delay-related contract clauses, managing claims documentation, and engaging in alternative dispute resolution methods. By examining these practical examples, this program will provide valuable insights into common pitfalls, costly mistakes, best practices, and successful strategies for managing and mitigating delays and disruptions.

Upon successful completion of the program, you will earn the coveted Certification in Quantification of Delay & Disruption in Construction & Engineering Projects. This certification will elevate your professional credentials and showcase your mastery of the key principles on quantification methods for delay and disrupted construction and engineering projects. This industry-recognized certification holds lifelong validity, offering a testament to your expertise and commitment to excellence in the construction industry.
