Abstract: Because forensic analysis emphasizes a study of a schedule’s critical path, and most literature regarding time-based disputes focuses on the owner/general contractor relationship, it is easy to forget about subcontractors’ interests when evaluating delay. Subcontractors often have legitimate claims rooted in schedule impact, but not all of them affect the administration of the prime contract. This creates a delay demonstration challenge when impacts suffered by the subcontractor are not visible in the general contract’s critical path.
This paper will examine the subcontractor/general contractor coordination required to develop and maintain schedules; methods used on projects holistic and targeted methods for evaluating time impact to a subcontractor’s portion of an overall project scope; and recommendations for pursuing a fair and equitable evaluation for all parties.
