Quantification of Delay and Disruption in Construction and Engineering Projects

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.
