Abstract

Delay claims are a common occurrence in construction projects. Many techniques have been developed to assess these delays. The time impact technique is the preferred approach for resolving complex disputes that are related to delays and delay compensation. However, this approach is time-consuming and costly to operate. This research proposes a new approach, similar to the time impact technique, which evaluates delay events in chronological order. The details of the modified time impact analysis (MTIA) method are provided, along with one example to demonstrate its advantages. This method is significantly easier to prepare, and the results generated by this new approach are easier to discuss and examine.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
