| Abstract |
Nowadays claims are considered as a part of contact administration in the construction industry. One of the most common claims in construction is a delay issue. An effective tool to analyze causation and effect of construction delay is required for the construction industry which has many potential factors of disputes. As there isn't an effective tool, time extension of the construction project has been decided without proper analysis of construction delay. Therefore, objective of this study is to propose an effective and reasonable method to evaluate construction delay. To achieve these objectives, the time impact analysis procedures and the definition of delay section concept are considered. The delay analysis method consists of four steps. The first step is to define the meaning of contract schedule and the application rule of float ownership. The second step is to present feasibility of contract schedule and decide on a baseline schedule. The third step is to divide the occurred delays into delay sections in order to analyze timely. The last step is to apportion delay days to the participators and compute the time of completion by utilizing analyzed data. |
