Abstract

Schedule delays occur frequently in construction projects around the world and Vietnam; it probably leads to damages, impacts on financial matters and even causes myriad disputes in litigation among project parties. Hence, many delay analysis techniques have been proposed and used for analyzing schedule delay problems, namely the real-time delay, concurrent delay, pacing delay, acceleration schedule, float ownership and its consumption, resource allocation and productivity loss. However, no universal technique can solve all complex project situations and is widely accepted by project participants due to the inability of existing approaches to address thoroughly all aforementioned delay issues. This paper examines current delay analysis techniques by applying a real case study to identify which is the most ideal technique to give a reliable and an accurate result that can ensure a greatly acceptable outcome in resolving delay claims. Study results revealed that currently ideal technique is still necessary improved because of its shortcomings. Further researches may also develop an effective approach in full compliance with professional softwares that can solve all identified delay schedule-related problems.
