Any request for
additional compensation on a construction project due to acceleration,
delay or disruption will almost assuredly require a “Schedule Analysis"
to substantiate the amount of time affected by these impacts.
A professional schedule analysis can support an affirmative claim for
compensation and also defend against a questionable claim.
Once the analysis
is complete and “compensable” time determined, the monetary damages (if
any) associated with the time impact can then be calculated and
submitted for approval.
Paramount Associates assists our
clients by providing professional
schedule
analysis either in the initial scheduling phase, through monthly
monitoring, or
through post project efforts. Our schedule analysis withstands the
toughest scrutiny and provides the client with the best chance
of financial recovery.
Our staff will
assist in the initial stages of schedule formation by tying the actual
estimate to the actual activity descriptions and durations (with or
without cost, resource, or manpower loading). We can also review the
overall project schedule for “build-ability” and assist in the
monitoring of monthly progress. This will provide our clients with a
heads-up of potential problem areas and how to avoid them. The review
will also assist in
schedule recovery as well as providing the documentation should a claim
request be required.
Paramount is knowledgeable in the use of today’s
most sophisticated CPM scheduling software (such as Primavera’s P3®, E/C® and Suretrack®
systems, Microsoft Project®, etc.) and
can provide our clients with the following types of schedule analysis:
