Scheduling General Information
Delay related damages are one of the most common causes of construction project conflicts. JKA provides scheduling services for all stages of a project from design through construction and including after-the-fact analysis of delays. A well-managed schedule allows all players to cooperate effectively, and in the event of a claim, the project schedule provides important evidence for determining responsibility and cause.

Critical Path Schedules
The critical path method is the industry standard for the management of large projects. JKA enumerates the tasks, takes into account their inter-dependencies, and provides both a baseline for planning, as well as a risk management tool for detecting deviations from a plan. A properly scheduled project will facilitate cooperation and efficiency and help manage the expectations of all parties.

Delay/Impact analysis
When projects do not go according to schedule and early detection and re-planning does not occur, significant monetary damages can result. The causation of delays is rarely straightforward, and expert analysis can help prevent unnecessary finger pointing and resolve disputes in a fair and precise manner. JKA provides delay analysis using the CPM method and but-for analysis.

Construction Claims Preparation
When a client has experienced damages related to delays, compensation depends on presenting a carefully thought out and well documented claim. JKA's experience with thousands of projects lets us focus on the most important issues and make a strong presentation of the important facts to expedite your claim.

Claim Evaluations
A delay claim is rarely straightforward. Presenting the how, why, and how-much of a delay damages claim sometimes is complicated by multiple delays, concurrency, and conflicts over scope or responsibility for tasks. The experts at JKA can help lift the haze from a confusing delay claim and improve the claim to focus on the important, documented facts of the case.
