Preventing contractual disputes through the analysis of delays in Primavera P6

Introduction :

In large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and energy projects, contractual disputes rarely result from a single event – they are typically the consequence of misunderstood impacts, insufficient documentation, and reactive management.

The most powerful preventive tool?

One forensic analysis of delays, based on rigorous planning logic and contractual control.

At ALVID Consulting, we specialise in transforming schedules into genuine strategic tools for risk and claims management, utilising Primavera P6 and internationally recognised methodologies.

🔹 Time Impact Analysis (TIA) to assess eligibility for an Extension of Time (EOT),
🔹 Recalculation of the critical path to identify the true causes of delay,
🔹 Compliance with AACE Recommended Practices And to SCL Delay & Disruption Protocol,
🔹 Integration with contractual repositories (FIDIC, NEC, CCAG, bespoke EPC contracts).

 

Why it's essential

When implemented correctly, delay analysis enables stakeholders to:

✅ Identify and mitigate real-time delays,
Secure time and cost claim rights,
✅ Strengthen their negotiating position,
✅ Avoid lengthy and costly procedures (arbitration / litigation).

 

Real case (anonymised)

A contractor was facing late payment penalties (back-charges).
Our forensic analysis of the delays has shown:

  • Concomitant delays,
  • An absence of instructions,
  • Customer interference.

 

Result:

  • TIA validated under P6,
  • Penalties waived,
  • Extension granted,
  • Litigation avoided.

 

Anticipate rather than suffer.
