Perform Time Impact Analysis using Critical Path Method to quantify delay events, insert schedule fragnets, and produce contemporaneous delay assessments for FIDIC EOT…

Target Audience: Project schedulers, claims consultants, project directors, and PMC firms performing delay analysis on FIDIC construction projects in UAE/GCC.

When to run
"Analyze the delay impact of 3 weeks late site access on our critical path"
Time saved
~1-2 days manual CPM analysis → ~20 min automated
How often
Per delay event · monthly schedule update
Compounds
Each TIA strengthens the project delay record — cumulative evidence for arbitration

How it runs

  1. Establish baseline and critical path
  2. Define delay event
  3. Construct and insert fragnet
  4. Recalculate CPM
  5. Verify net delay figure
  6. Compile TIA report

What it needs

  • delay-event — Delay event description, dates, affected activities
  • schedule-data — Current approved schedule, critical path, activity durations
  • as-planned — Original baseline schedule
  • as-built — Actual completion dates and sequence
  • delay-events — Multiple delay events with dates, causes, and responsible parties

What you get

  • concurrent-report (markdown)
  • delay-report (markdown)
  • tia-report (markdown)
  • {project-folder}/concurrent_delay_assessment.md
  • {project-folder}/delay_analysis_{date}.md
  • {project-folder}/tia_report_{date}.md

Ask it like this

  • Analyze the delay impact of 3 weeks late site access on our critical path
  • Perform a TIA for the variation order that pushed foundation work back
  • Compare our as-planned vs as-built schedule for the arbitration claim
  • We have concurrent delays from both the Employer and our subcontractor — assess entitlement
