Coverage for Delay Analysis Services
Structured around how project delays are analyzed, documented, and presented, and how risk presents across that work.
Delay consultants analyze project schedules and records to assess the causes and impacts of delays. Their work may include schedule review, time impact analysis, and reports used in claims or disputes.
Analysis often relies on records that may be incomplete or interpreted differently by involved parties.
Because delay analysis is frequently used in formal claims or litigation, findings may be reviewed and challenged. We review how your services are structured before making any recommendation.

What We Place

Worth Reviewing
How Analysis Scope and Methodology Are Defined
Delay consulting agreements define scope of review, analytical approach, and reporting format. Clarifying reliance and limitations is important when work is relied upon by clients, attorneys, or other parties in a dispute.
Insurance requirements are worth reviewing against your current coverage before work begins.
The Process
How We Approach It
From initial conversation to structured recommendation, every step is deliberate.
Step 1
Understand Your Work
We review how you analyze schedules, assess delays, and develop conclusions.
Step 2
Review Existing Coverage
We assess current policies, including limits and exclusions, against how your services are delivered.
Step 3
Align Coverage and Analysis
We consider how your coverage supports how your findings are communicated and used.
Common Gaps
Where Timelines Are Reconstructed Differently
Challenges arise when project timelines are interpreted from different perspectives. Incomplete schedule data, assumptions used to fill gaps in records, differences in how delay responsibility is assigned.
Coverage that appears sufficient at a high level may not reflect how findings are used in dispute settings.
