 Introduction

Construction projects are frequently delayed for a variety of reasons,

which can have a significant financial impact on the project. As a
result, claims for delay may be filed. One of the most difficult types of
claims analysis is the analysis of the delay impact, the causes, and
effects of the delaying activities. To conduct the analysis, an expert
with extensive knowledge of construction projects, means and
methods, scheduling, and the ability to develop a sound methodology
is needed.
What is the impacted As-Planned Delay
Analysis Method ?
- The impacted as-planned method of delay analysis is a technique that
predicts or predicts the delay in the completion date of the project. This
delay analysis method involves the inclusion or addition of activities
that represent delays or changes to the baseline schedule in order to
determine the impact of these delay activities.
- The use of the method of analysis of the impacted schedule as
planned is generally limited to the quantification of delays for
contemporary time extension requests.
 Steps

 Step 1: establish the baseline program .

 Step 2: model the actual duration of the selected delay event and
impact the as-planned program .

 Step 3: measure the change in completion date, which is said to be

the critical delay caused by each delay event.
How to Perform the Impacted As Planned Delay Analysis.

1. establish that the baseline schedule has been achievable. When that is
not true then the calculated delay may not be right, since some or all of
the calculated delay is inevitable.
2. ensure that the program is appropriate for dynamic simulation. This means
that it will involve the calculation of the schedule by simulation using
computers and software. If the schedule is not capable of dynamic
simulation, the contractor must make adjustments to the logic of the
schedule and, in particular, replace the constraints applied in order for the
activities to react appropriately during the analysis.
3. determine the nature, extent, and relationship of the delay event to be
established so that it can be properly linked to the schedule.
How to Perform the Impacted As Planned
Delay Analysis in (Primavera P6)
 Following is the As Planned Schedule (Baseline Schedule)
• We will insert the Delay event into our schedule. Enter the Original Duration of
the delay, then Assign the right successor (which activity the delay will affect).

For example, the Original Duration of the “Design Changes” delay is 10 days.
And it will affect the “Activity D”. and add a Constraint for the event date and
here the delay event date is 18 July 2020
Then, you can calculate the total Extension of Time which will be 39– 30= 9 days.

The formula used is (Original Duration of Impacted Schedule – Original Duration of

the Baseline) or (Project Finish Date of Impacted Schedule – Project Finish Date of
Baseline)
 Reasons to perform this type of analysis

 There is insufficient as-built progress information in order

to understand what actually happened.

 The delay event is relatively straightforward and occurs at

or near the commencement of the works (i.e., delay to site
access).
 Common problems with this type of analysis
 This analysis requires a reasonable and fully logic-linked baseline
program Any changes required to meet these criteria will be
subjective and possibly open to criticism.
 This analysis provides a prospective determination of the effect of
the delay event which, if performed after the actual effects become
known, may be inconsistent with what actually happened.
 The results of this analysis are typically biased towards the party
whose interest lies in maximizing the impact of the delay event, as
the introduction of any significant delay is likely to delay the
completion date regardless if it is actually critical or not.
 This analysis only considers selected delay events and may ignore other
more critical delay events. In this regard, this analysis favors the party
selecting the events to be modelled.
 This type of analysis cannot be used to determine the existence of
concurrent delays and/or their true effect on the critical path.
 In summary, this type of analysis takes no account of progress,
resources, changing logic and is unlikely to be reliable in dispute
resolution.
