Forensic Windows Delay Analysis

Forensic delay analysis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the events that led to project delays, allowing for the identification of responsible parties and the assessment of potential claims or disputes.

Being a retrospective delay analysis technique, Forensic Windows Delay Analysis is a specialized methodology used to investigate and analyze delays in construction projects. It involves a detailed examination of project schedules, activities, and associated factors to determine the causes and impacts of delays.?

It divides the project duration into manageable periods or "windows" based on significant events like project milestones, major delays, schedule revisions, and updates. Each window is sequentially updated, and the overall impact on the project's completion date is determined by allocating delays to the contracting parties. The accumulation of these windows represents the total project delay.

This method's main strength lies in considering the dynamic nature of the critical path. However, due to the significant effort required to effectively utilize the Windows Delay Analysis method, it is more resource-intensive and time-consuming compared to other methods, and this disadvantage has been eliminated by the Erachron Windows Delay Analysis software.

By utilizing Windows Delay Analysis software, such as the one offered by Erachron, the forensic analysis process becomes more efficient and accurate. The software enables the user to input project data, including schedules, activities, and relevant information, and perform various delay analysis techniques. These techniques help in assessing the effects of delays on project timelines and identifying the responsible parties.

Erachron Windows Delay Analysis provides stakeholders, including owners, contractors, and legal teams, with detailed narrative reports, and graphical representations regarding project delays. This analysis serves as a valuable tool in resolving disputes, determining liability, and making informed decisions related to project management and legal proceedings.
