Delays are a common challenge in today's construction industry, often caused by increasing project complexity and scale. At IA Consultants, we understand that clients frequently pass more risks to contractors and subcontractors, leading to time and cost overruns and disputes over responsibility.
Construction performance often deviates from the original plan, affecting schedules and budgets. Delays occur when project activities start or finish later than planned, causing interruptions, suspensions, or extensions. These delays can be complex and difficult to quantify, often intertwined with other disruptive events.
IA Consultants specializes in identifying and measuring delays using advanced analysis techniques for construction and ICT projects. Our methods include:
We also use observational and contemporaneous derivatives of these methods, endorsed by the Society of Construction Law and the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineers.
Our expertise ensures that the appropriate method is used for each situation, whether for prospective or retrospective claims or defenses. We rely on the specific mechanisms under contract or legal remedies to establish the correct method, ensuring the success of the analysis.
To maximize delay recovery and associated costs, it is essential to illustrate how the planned duration, sequence, method, and manner of work were affected. At IA Consultants, we excel in presenting these results graphically and preparing robust, defensible narratives to support claims or defenses.
Partner with IA Consultants to navigate the complexities of construction delays and ensure your project's success.
Disruption refers to a loss in productivity caused by events (delay or otherwise) that prevent contractors or subcontractors from achieving planned progress, reducing the output of plant, equipment, or labour. Establishing and claiming disruption can be challenging, as contractors must prove the impact, quantify the loss, and link it to a specific event or breach of contract.
In modern construction, performance often deviates from the plan due to events affecting productivity. Disruptions can interrupt, delay, or reduce the efficiency of work, causing activities to take longer and increasing project costs. It is crucial to distinguish between delays and disruptions, as their recovery mechanisms differ.
IA Consultants specialises in identifying and measuring disruptions using advanced techniques, including:
We also use time location derivatives of these methods, endorsed by the Society of Construction Law and the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineers.
Our expertise ensures the appropriate method is used for each situation, whether under contract or other legal remedies. We rely on specific mechanisms to determine the correct method, ensuring successful analysis and claims.
To maximize disruption recovery and associated costs, it is essential to illustrate how planned output of work was affected by relevant events. IA Consultants excels in presenting these results graphically and preparing robust, defensible narratives to support forensic disruption analysis.

IA Consultants has developed skills and earned a reputation for providing expert Project Controls services.
Services include Planning and Scheduling, Integrated cost and Schule risk analysis, and Earned Value Reporting. Each phase of a project is critical to the success of the subsequent phase and as such needs to be set up correctly with a well-defined Work Breakdown Structure and a common Study table of contents across each phase of the project or study.
IA’s extensive experience within Project Controls enables many of their key personnel to provide independent auditing and review services to their clients across all project types and stages.
Their involvement with a number of baseline schedule reviews / audits for financial investment decision gates, both internationally and within Australia, has given IA Consultants Group the experience required to measure and establish the pedigree of a schedule.
Once schedules are being executed and updated periodically, IA Consultants provides a unique offering including a suite of templates to ensure the correct information is captured each moth to allow the successful pursuit oof defence of claims
