2nd most common cause of disputes in 2016 was poorly drafted or incomplete / unsubstantiated claims1/3 of all construction contracts end in dispute
- Arcadis: 2017 Global Construction Disputes Report
• Scheduling 101• How to organize and manage your schedule as a
defense tool• Key data to monitor in the schedule to avoid
liability in the case of claims• Steps needed to maintain documentation during
the scheduling process
What We Will Cover…
Schedule in a Nutshell
• How to document delays• Backup documentation
Organizing your Schedule as a Defense Tool
Question…
When should you document a delay in the
schedule?
As soon as you realize there’s an impact
Delay Fragnet Example
Weather Delay Example
Use the Notebook
How do you Mitigate Delays?
• Watch for trends with trouble subs• Always document the delay first• Understand the impacts and who’s
responsible• Make a copy of the schedule• Prepare acceleration options

• Open communication between Scheduler and Project Team
• Information that the Scheduler needs• Death by 1,000 cuts / Measles
Steps to Maintain Documentation
Open Communication
The project team needs to let the
Scheduler know of all major changes if there is a potential for schedule impact
Information the Scheduler Needs
• What’s the trigger?• Date any
documentation was issued (RFI, ASI, etc.)
• Copy of the actual document
• If added scope, develop delay Fragnet
• What activities are being impacted?
Death by 1,000 Cuts

IMPACT ANALYSIS
GRANITE MOUNTAIN
Impacts Successfully Overcome Throughout the Project
• Power Pole – The power pole supplying the main power to the existing building was replaced with a below-grade power feed.
• Rock Slide – Boulders sheared off the face of the mountain landing where the new building needed to be built.
• Asbestos – The asbestos survey was found to be inaccurate causing a large amount of additional asbestos to require abatement
• Lead Paint – The hazardous material survey was found to be inaccurate requiring additional lead paint to require abatement
• Existing Operations – Employees were much more sensitive to dust, noise, and odors than expected.
• Ground Rock – The soils report indicated that below-grade rock should not have been as large an impact as it was.
• Avalanches – Snow and ice slide threats were not expected to impact the project as much as they did.
• Rock Pinning and Analysis – The need to pin rock and analyze the threats to safety were not expected.
• Winter – The project was originally expected to span one winter, but was required to span two.
