Publisher Summary
On construction projects, as well as on other projects where a schedule is used to plan work, it is not uncommon for delays to occur. It is what is being delayed that determines whether a Project or some other deadline, such as a milestone, will be completed late. There are four basic ways to categorize delays: critical or noncritical, excusable or nonexcusable, compensable or noncompensable, and concurrent or nonconcurrent. In the process of determining the effect of a delay on the Project, the analyst must determine whether the delay is critical or noncritical. The analyst must also assess whether delays are concurrent. All delays that are identified in the analysis are either excusable or nonexcusable. Delays can be further categorized into compensable or noncompensable delays. In any analysis of delays to a Project, the primary focus is on delays that affect the progress of the entire Project or that are critical to the Project completion. Delays that affect the Project completion, or in some cases a milestone date, are considered critical delays, and delays that do not affect the Project completion, or a milestone date, are noncritical delays.
