Time Is Money on a Job Site. We Decide Who Pays for Lost Time.

Delay Is Expensive, and Hard to Untangle

Whose Delay Was It? The Schedule Knows.

When a job runs late, the costs pile up fast: extended overhead, idle crews, equipment sitting, and liquidated damages ticking. Acceleration costs money too, because crashing a schedule to recover lost time means overtime, extra crews, and lost productivity.

The hard question is always the same: whose delay was it? Supply chain, weather, labor shortage, a design change, an owner’s slow decision, or a contractor falling behind. The answer is buried in the schedule and the contract, and that is where we work.

We analyze the baseline schedule against what actually happened, separate excusable delays from inexcusable ones, and value time. Then we press the claim for compensation or a time extension, or defend you against a delay claim aimed at you.

Where We Come In

• ✓ The schedule has slipped and costs are climbing
• ✓ You were ordered to accelerate and want to recover the cost
• ✓ You are facing liquidated damages for late completion
• ✓ An owner or contractor is blaming you for the delay
• ✓ Supply or labor problems pushed the job past its deadline
• ✓ You need the schedule analyzed to prove what really happened

Excusable Delay

Delay outside your control that should extend the deadline without penalty.

Acceleration Costs

The price of speeding up to recover time, including overtime and lost productivity.

Liquidated Damages

Daily penalties for late completion. We challenge or enforce them under the contract.

Schedule Analysis

We compare the plan to what happened to prove cause and apportion the delay.

Concurrent Delay

When more than one party caused the slip, we sort out who pays for what.

Delay Defense

Blamed for lost time? We show the real cause and protect you from the cost.

Consultation

Tell us about the project, the contract, and where it went wrong. We find the issues that matter most and the deadlines that apply.

Review Contract & Record

We dig into the documents, the schedule, and the correspondence to find your strongest position.

Claim or Defend

We file, demand, negotiate, or litigate, with a clear plan and a calendar of every deadline.

Resolve or Try It

We push for the strongest resolution available and are fully prepared to take it to court or arbitration.

“Delay claims are won in the schedule and the daily logs, not in the argument. When a client tells me the job ran six months late, my first questions are: what did the baseline say, what actually happened, and what does the contract require for notice and time extensions? Most of the time the answer is already in the documents, if someone kept them. That is why I push clients to protect the schedule and the record while the job is live. When the fight comes, the side with the cleaner paper trail usually wins.”
