Construction Delay Analysis & Claims Support
Clear, well-documented schedule analysis that explains what delayed the project, by how much and why.
Discuss Your ProjectWhen milestones slip, contractors and owners need more than an opinion. They need an analysis that ties delay to specific events, uses the project's own schedule record and holds up to review by the other side. Pathline builds that analysis from the schedule outward, with the construction knowledge to explain what actually happened in the field.

How Pathline Approaches the Work
Gather the Record
Collect the baseline, updates, contract requirements, change documents and daily records.
Validate the Schedules
Check the baseline and updates for logic, status and quality before relying on them.
Analyze the Delay
Select a method suited to the contract and record, then trace delay along the critical path.
Document the Findings
Deliver a clear narrative, exhibits and schedule files the project team or counsel can use.
Who This Helps
Contractors preparing a time extension request or delay claim, owners evaluating a contractor's request, and project teams, claims consultants or attorneys who need experienced Primavera P6 schedule analysis behind their position.
Common Questions
When should delay analysis start?
As early as possible. A Time Impact Analysis prepared when the event happens is usually stronger, and far less costly, than rebuilding the story months later.
Which analysis method does Pathline use?
It depends on the contract requirements and the quality of the schedule record. Methods are selected with reference to recognized industry practice, such as AACE International's forensic schedule analysis guidance.
Can Pathline review an analysis prepared by someone else?
Yes. Pathline can review a contractor's or owner's delay analysis for method, schedule quality and whether the conclusions follow from the record.
Can Pathline serve as an expert witness?
Pathline can work alongside counsel and the testifying expert, providing the detailed Primavera P6 analysis, data extraction and exhibits behind their opinions. Pathline is also available to serve as the scheduling expert when the engagement calls for it; the role is defined and agreed at the start.
Is Pathline a law firm?
No. Pathline provides schedule analysis and claims support. Legal advice and entitlement positions should come from your attorney or contract advisor.
