Time truly is money, especially in construction. Consequently, being able to determine and document delay is a crucial skill for owners, contractors, subcontractors, design consultants, project managers and their legal team.

It will include a discussion of the importance of the critical path, the importance of the contemporaneous documentation and the pitfalls associated with discredited analytical techniques.
