When to engage a construction delay expert?

There are several triggers which may require you to engage a construction delay expert:

1. When delays are anticipated: If you have reason to believe that delays may occur on your project, it is a good idea to engage an delay expert early on to help you plan and schedule the project in a way that minimises the potential for delays.
2. When delays are already occurring: If you are already experiencing delays on your project, it is important to engage a delay expert as soon as possible to help you identify the causes of the delays and develop a plan to mitigate them.
3. When preparing for a dispute: If you anticipate a dispute arising related to project delays, it is beneficial to engage a delay expert to help you understand the cause and effect of the delays to develop evidence to support your position.
4. When preparing for a claim: if you are preparing a claim related to project delays, an expert will assist you in developing a delay claim that demonstrates the the impact of the delays on the project that is supported by evidence.
5. When trying to identify the root cause of delays: if delays on your project have occurred and you are unable to identify the root cause, an delay expert will identify the root cause and develop a plan to mitigate the delays and determine who is culpable for the delays to the project..
