Topic Overview
Schedule delay analysis has evolved greatly over the past fifty or so years. Advances in computer technology, and especially the advent of, and advances in, personal computing have resulted numerous ways with which to address schedule delay claims, from the theoretical to fact-based. Unfortunately, many of these methods offer only facile solutions to complex problems. In this webinar we will look at the common methods of schedule delay analysis, how they are implemented, and the pros and cons of each method.
Areas Covered
In this webinar we will briefly review the concepts of Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, and then review some of the typical issues that can result in delays to a construction project. We will then apply the concept of the critical path to the various methods of schedule delay analysis, looking at both modeled methods of analysis and observational methods, and working some basic examples of each method. We will also discuss the concept of concurrent delay, and conclude with a brief discussion on the records and data necessary to successfully perform a delay analysis.

He has over 25 years of experience in the construction industry specializing in disputes and claims resolution, critical path method scheduling and delay analysis, cost damages analysis, and litigation support. Fritz’s experience involves in a wide variety of projects including highways and bridges, airports and rail stations, water and wastewater treatment facilities, landfills, hospitals and health care facilities, stadiums and arenas, and hotels and apartment buildings. He has also served as a testifying expert in this regard.
Fritz received his Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees in Civil Engineering from Drexel University. He is a licensed Professional Engineer and Certified Forensic Claims Consultant, and a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International, and the American Bar Association.
In addition, Fritz has been involved in the on-site construction management and administration of several large public projects involving the construction of highways, highway bridges, railroads, and railroad stations; and, has performed residential construction work including home construction and renovations.
Fritz had led claims analysis efforts on more than $1 billion of construction projects. His efforts have included the creation of detailed as-built schedules, establishment of the as-built critical path to project completion, identification of project impacts and critical delays, determination of responsibility for issues and impacts, and calculation of cost damages incurred. He has performed analyses on behalf contractors, public and private owners and developers, and design professionals.
