FORENSIC PROGRAM and PROJECT ANALYSIS:

(Delay analysis is the analytical process through which a delay expert such as Milestone implements program analysis. This is done in conjunction with a forensic review of project documentation and other relevant data, to assess and apportion the effects of delays and other impacts on the projects programme. The result of this analysis establishes a defined period of time which usually extends to the contract completion date and determines the extent to which, if any, delay costs or damages are payable)

  • What was supposed to happen?
  • What actually happened?
  • What were the variances?
  • How did they affect the project schedule?
  • With the most common techniques used by us:

 – “as-planned vs as-built”

 – “impacted as planned”

 – “ as planned for”

 – “ collapsed as-built”

 – “window analysis”

 – “time impact analysis”

PROJECT RESCUE:

(Not every project goes as expected. Projects stall or veer off schedule, costs escalate, unforeseen conditions bring into question whether a project can even be completed, communication ceases and work grinds to a halt. MILESTONE professionals will get projects moving again so that the contract can be successfully closed out before litigation becomes necessary. We are able to quickly assemble a team of specialists, send them to any project location and identify the root cause of the issues stifling a troubled project.)
