Delay and disruption are endemic in the construction industry and result in time and cost overruns. It is therefore essential that delays and/or disruptions are identified early, so that corrective action can be taken. However, when delay and/or disruption actually occurs, the issue of quantifying the period of delay, the effects of disruption, and the quantification of the resulting loss is complicated. This book is a practical guide to the quantification of loss caused by delay and disruption. It is relevant to construction professionals in Australia and internationally, and provides a review and analysis of: The planning and programming of a construction project; The primary methods of delay analysis; and The methods to quantify financial loss caused by delay and by disruption. New developments in the Second Edition include: DD Quantum Expert App will be referenced throughout the book to assist the readers' understanding of how to quantify the contractor's financial entitlement due to delay and/or disruption; References to the ASCE Standard, ANSI/ASCE/CI 67-17, Schedule Delay Analysis (2017, American Society of Civil Engineers) to further explain the various methods of delay analysis; More detailed examination of the various methods of delay analysis will be provided; Relevant case law since the First Edition published in 2017; and Additional case law scenarios throughout the book based on both Australian and international case law. - Publisher's website.
