Our approach · How we work

The method follows the evidence.

The appropriate delay analysis depends on the contractual question, the quality of the programmes and records, the timing of the assessment and the forum in which the findings may be used.

Work may include contemporaneous or retrospective analysis, windows analysis, Time Impact Analysis, as-planned versus as-built comparison, longest-path interrogation and assessment of concurrent delay, with material findings traced to the programme information and project records, and assumptions and limitations identified expressly.

◆ A clear process from instruction to conclusion

  1. Stage 01

    Initial review

    We discuss the project, contract, relevant events, available programme information and the question that needs to be answered.

  2. Stage 02

    Evidence assessment

    Programmes, progress records, correspondence and other relevant information are reviewed to establish what exists, what is missing and what the evidence can support.

  3. Stage 03

    Programme & delay analysis

    The appropriate analytical approach is applied to investigate actual progress, programme development, causation and the resulting effect on completion.

  4. Stage 04

    Reporting & support

    Findings are provided in the form required, whether an advisory note, claim submission, rebuttal, expert report or support during proceedings.

Before you enquire

Frequently asked questions

Q/01

How quickly can you mobilise?

Urgent enquiries can usually be conflict-checked and scoped promptly. The work that can be completed will depend on the timetable, volume of material and programme complexity. See expert witness services.

Q/02

Do you act for contractors and employers?

Yes. We act for contractors, subcontractors, employers, insurers and legal teams, subject to a conflict check.

Q/03

What information is required?

The initial review usually requires the contract, relevant programmes, notices, correspondence and progress records. A tailored document request will be issued once the scope is understood.

Q/04

Can you review an opposing expert report?

Yes. We assess the methodology, programme logic, factual assumptions, treatment of concurrency and connection between the identified events and the conclusions reached. See claims review and rebuttal.

Q/05

What does delay analysis cost?

Fees depend on the question, programme complexity, quality and volume of the records, and the required deliverable. Wherever practical, work is divided into clearly scoped stages.

Q/06

Do you accept international appointments?

Yes. ProTech Planning supports UK and international construction and engineering projects, subject to availability, conflict checks and the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction or forum.
