In construction disputes, expert witnesses play a crucial role in presenting evidence and analysis to support claims related to project delays.

Delay analysis is a vital process in construction disputes. When a project runs late, everyone involved—clients, contractors, and subcontractors—wants to know why. That’s where delay experts come in.

In construction project management, scheduling is crucial for timely and efficient project completion. A common practice involves applying constraints to activities within the schedule, particularly mandatory start and finish constraints.

Delay analysis is a means to understand why a construction project took longer than planned and how those delays affected the project.

To effectively manage and resolve these issues, it's crucial to establish a clear causal link between the cause of a problem and its effect on the project.
