Different Delay Analysis Techniques

Primavera P6, Schedule Management /

A number of claims analysis techniques have been introduced with varying degree of results accuracy and some often offer favorable outcome to the claims proponent, consequently, arising the difficulty for both sides to reach an agreement. The Time Impact Analysis (TIA) has been recognized by practitioners and researchers to produce the most reliable and unbiased results. The drawbacks of this method, however, are its complexity to perform and the stringent requisite of having well-maintained and relevant project documentations.

Building Information Modelling: The Future of Project Management

Others, Project Management /

BIM-projects realised cost savings, faster delivery time, and overall improvements in productivity and quality of works through better collaboration of stakeholders and having a centralised repository of information. Several countries in Western Europe, North Americas, Asia, and other parts of the world have already adopted the use of BIM. It is a project management tool. It encompasses all aspects of project management. However, it requires involvement and competency of stakeholders to be effective.

Schedule Risk Analysis With Acumen: Effects of Floats And Lags on Results

Deltek Acumen Fuse, Primavera P6, Project Management, Risk Management /

In this analysis, the effects of the schedule total floats and lags on SRA results are investigated. Four simple schedules were developed using Primavera P6 to understand how results varied when the same single risk was applied to a critical activity, non-critical activity, and to an activity whose criticality was driven by a lag.

In this analysis, different activity status (completed, in progress, not started) are investigated on how each affects the SRA output. A simple schedule was developed using Primavera P6 for a straightforward understanding of the relationship between the inputs and the SRA results generated from Acumen.

There is no better way to vividly express key events and milestones than to visually presenting them in images. The Project Timeline does that. Though developed in Microsoft Excel, it still has the dynamic functionality. Meaning, displayed photos and other details can be changed as simple as by moving the installed scroll bar.

Having reliable reporting tools are vital in properly managing construction projects. One such instrument is the Milestone Tracker as developed by this author. The tracker provides comprehensive information about the overall status of the projects. Details are configured in such as way that they can readily be conveyed and easily understood by various stakeholders.
