In this video, we continue our in-depth exploration of delay analysis methods with a focus on As-Planned vs. As-Built—one of the most fundamental and widely used techniques for forensic schedule assessments. Unlike predictive methods such as Time Impact Analysis (TIA), As-Planned vs. As-Built is a retrospective approach that examines actual project performance against the original plan to determine the real impact of delay events.
Key Topics Covered:
- The Fundamentals of As-Planned vs. As-Built: Understand why this method is widely used in forensic delay analysis and recommended in construction claims for its simplicity and objectivity. Learn how it helps in evaluating schedule performance by comparing planned progress with actual execution.
- How It Works: Discover how this method systematically assesses project delays by overlaying the As-Planned schedule against the As-Built timeline. We break down how to identify deviations, categorize delays, and determine their impact on project completion.
- Practical Application: See a detailed Primavera P6 demonstration, where we analyze a real-world construction project using As-Planned vs. As-Built. Through schedule overlays, we evaluate critical delays, determine responsible parties, and assess entitlement to time extensions.
- Comparative Analysis: Understand how As-Planned vs. As-Built differs from other delay analysis techniques, such as Windows Analysis and TIA. We highlight its advantages in forensic claims and dispute resolution, especially in cases where accurate project records exist.
- Forensic Delay Analysis in Primavera P6: A case study demonstrating how the As-Planned vs. As-Built method helps determine the impact of delays on contractual completion dates, time extensions, and cost entitlements.
As-Planned vs. As-Built is particularly valuable for construction projects where accurate schedule documentation is maintained. By analysing actual project progress against the baseline plan, this method provides a transparent, objective, and defensible approach to delay assessments, making it a preferred technique in contract disputes and claims resolution.
