ABSTRACT
The article discusses the approach taken to assess the alternative methods for analyzing schedules and measuring delays with a review of the techniques in the Recommended Practice N. 29R-03 on Forensic Schedule Analysis (RP/FSA) by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International (AACE International). It evaluates each MIP identified in the RP/FSA and the results are integrated in the techniques including impacted as-planned, collapsed as-built, and time impact analysis. It concludes that by applying the procedures as well as the rules set in the RP/FSA, the project team should be able to evaluate any delay, resolve delay-related disputes, and avoid unnecessary claims.
