Delay Analysis & Extension of Time under FIDIC: A Complete 5-Day Professional Programme
COURSE OVERVIEW
Delays are a common challenge in FIDIC-based projects, often leading to disputes, cost overruns, and performance issues. This 5-day professional programme equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to **analyze delays, determine entitlement to extensions of time, and mitigate schedule risks** under Red, Yellow, Silver, and Gold Book contracts.
The course combines **critical path analysis, claims management, real-world case studies, and interactive exercises** to help participants manage project timelines effectively.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:
1. Understand FIDIC clauses related to delays and extension of time (EOT)
2. Identify causes of delays and classify critical vs non-critical delays
3. Apply delay analysis techniques such as CPM, As-Planned vs As-Built, and Time Impact Analysis
4. Prepare and submit extension of time claims in compliance with FIDIC requirements
5. Integrate delay analysis with claims, variations, and project reporting
6. Coordinate with Engineers, Employers, and Contractors on schedule issues
7. Prevent disputes and improve project delivery timelines
8. Learn from real-world case studies and best practices
