CONSTRUCTION DELAY & DISRUPTION WEBINAR / DISCUSSION GROUP

The CONSTRUCTION DELAY & DISRUPTION WEBINAR / DISCUSSION GROUP has been set up as a world-wide non-exclusive forum and networking group to encourage professionals within the construction and engineering industries anywhere in the world to participate in discussions, share their insights and experiences, and ask for guidance, on the quantification of delay and disruption from both a time and quantum perspective.

The group was set up just a month ago and there are now over 800 members - the group welcomes anyone involved in the construction and engineering industries who has either an interest in, has been, and/or is involved in any capacity in the quantification / analysis of delay and/or disruption.?

The owner of this group, Robert Gemmell, will start (on the 6th October 2021) a series of webinars that focusses on how delay and disruption costs are quantified. If you would like to receive an invitation to participate in the webinars please email Robert ([email protected]) or send him a LinkedIn message to register your interest – the webinars are open to anyone to attend, but please note that due to the large numbers that have already registered, only those on the invitation list will receive an invite.

WEBINAR DATES:

Starting at 7am, 12noon, 5pm and 9pm Brisbane time, I will deliver the following 1-hour webinars on the following dates:

Webinar 1 on Wednesday 6th October 2021: Introduction to and the distinction between delay and disruption. What is, and what causes, delay and what is disruption? Why do we need to know and separate them out? Identification of the methods/approaches to quantify delay and disruption costs.

Webinar 2 on Wednesday 10th November 2021: A deeper dive into the various methods / approaches to quantify loss caused by delay.

Webinar 3 on Wednesday 8th December 2021: A deeper dive into the various methods / approaches to quantify loss caused by disruption.

Webinar 4 on Wednesday 19th January 2022: A detailed examination of how to quantify delayed preliminaries costs (part 1):

• Global pro-rata approach;
• Planned and modified planned versus actual approach; and
• Weighted average delay rate approach.

Webinar 5 on Wednesday 9th February 2022: A detailed examination of how to quantify delayed preliminaries costs (part 2):

• Delay-rate per-day approach;
• Resource-by-resource ‘but-for’ approach; and
• Summary and review of all the approaches.

Webinar 6 on Wednesday 9th March 2022: A detailed examination of how to quantify delayed preliminaries costs (part 3):

• Identification of the most appropriate approach to use and why; and
• Which approaches are the recognised experts using and why?

Webinar 7 on Wednesday 13th April 2022: A detailed examination of how to quantify:

• Delayed labour costs; and
• Head office overheads and profit (additional head office costs plus loss of opportunity to recover).

Webinar 8 on Wednesday 11th May 2022: A detailed examination of the methods/approaches to quantify loss caused by disruption (part 1):

• Measured mile method; and
• Baseline productivity method.

Webinar 9 on Wednesday 8th June 2022: A detailed examination of the methods/approaches to quantify loss caused by disruption (part 2):

• Other methods to quantify disruption costs;
• What methods/approaches are the recognised experts using and why; and
• Identification of the most appropriate approach(es) to use.

Webinar 10 on Wednesday 13th July 2022: Global claims for delay and disruption – what are they and are they really a good idea?

• What is a global claim?
• Are global claims permissible?
• Causation based on inference; and
• Proving a global claim / establishing the inference.

Webinar 11 on Wednesday 17th August 2022: Summary and review of the above sessions.

If you do join, I hope you enjoy being part of this group and the webinar series and please don’t hesitate to contribute.

Thankyou

Robert
