Delay & Productivity Analysis
Schedule, delay, and productivity analysis.
Where the Time Went
When a project runs late or over budget, Aperture determines why. We analyze schedules to establish the cause of and responsibility for delay, quantify lost productivity and acceleration, and support the pursuit and defense of time-related claims. We work for owners, contractors, sureties, developers, and counsel on either side of a dispute.
Schedule & Delay Analysis — Determining the cause, extent, and responsibility for delay. Includes critical-path (CPM) analysis, time-impact analysis, as-planned versus as-built comparison, and concurrency analysis.
Productivity & Disruption — Quantifying lost labor productivity, its causes, and the resulting cost impacts. Includes disruption and cumulative-impact analysis, acceleration, and inefficiency measurement.
Claims & Project Controls — Support before and during disputes. Includes requests for equitable adjustment, schedule development and oversight, and change-order analysis.

Our Capabilities
Analysis of a project’s critical path to establish how delays affected the completion date. Our critical-path method work includes time-impact analysis (TIA) and as-planned versus as-built (APAB) comparison to isolate the cause and effect of specific delays.
Analysis of overlapping delays and their responsibility. We separate concurrent delays to determine which party’s delay controlled.
Determination of what caused a delay and who is responsible for it. We connect the delay to its source and the accountable party.
Quantification of reduced labor productivity and its causes. We measure inefficiency and tie it to the conditions that produced it.
Evaluation of disruption and the compounding effect of multiple changes on efficiency across the work.
Analysis and quantification of efforts to speed up a project and their resulting cost impacts, including directed and constructive acceleration.
Development and monitoring of project schedules to keep a project on track or to support a claim.
Evaluation of change orders and their effect on time and cost, including entitlement and schedule impact.
Preparation and evaluation of requests for equitable adjustment. We quantify the time and cost impacts associated with changed conditions.
Review and evaluation of opposing schedule, delay, and productivity analyses. We assess the methods, assumptions, and conclusions and identify areas of disagreement.
