Schedule Delay Analysis

  • Time Impact Analysis (TIA)

    Time Impact Analysis is the determination of a potential “forward looking” schedule impact. Typically completed when a differing site condition is encountered, or additional work is added to a project. Draper & Associates will assist in determining all the activities; design, procurement, and work that must be accomplished to complete the added/changed scope. Once the activities have been identified and time estimated to complete each activity is determined a “Fragnet or Subnetwork” is created. This “Fragnet or Subnetwork” of activities that is inserted into the current approved project schedule and the potential impact to the project is determined. This TIA can be utilized by the Owner and Contractor to negotiate a revised completion date. Draper & Associates is uniquely qualified utilizing its experience with hundreds of projects, by construction professionals to determine the potential impacts to projects.

  • Delay Analysis

    Delay Analysis is normally done after the project has been impacted. This is a comprehensive review what happened in the past. This involves the review of Contract Documents, meeting minutes, schedule updates up to and including the delay. Draper & Associates will analyze the quality of the project schedule, utilizing the contractual documents, industry standards and court accepted methodologies to create an as-built schedule utilizing graphic format to understand impacts that occurred during the completion of the project.

  • Recovery Schedule

    When a project delay occurs during the life of a project Draper utilizes the current Overall Project Schedule (CPM Network) to create a Recovery Schedule with the least impact to project resources. This is done on the Near-Terms Schedule to show a new work flow, that over a set period of time will bring the project back on schedule or at a minimum reduce the time impact to the project.

Clients’ Testimonials

“In my 40 years in construction, I have not experienced this level of support.  This information is extremely valuable in helping me plan effectively, prioritize appropriately, and gain a clear understanding of what lies ahead.  The Draper System provides a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities in front of us.”

“I have recommend Draper & Associates for anyone seeking reliable and expert construction scheduling services.  Over the course of our projects, their team demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, professionalism, and deep knowledge of construction timelines and project coordination.

They consistently delivered accurate schedules, identified potential delays early, and offered practical solutions that kept our project on track and within budget.  Communication was clear and proactive – every update was timely and informed by real insight into our project needs.  What sets them apart is their combination of technical expertise and hands-on experience in the construction industry.  Their scheduling tools, progress tracking, and collaborative approach made them an invaluable partner from start to finish.

I would gladly work with them again and recommend their services to any organization looking for a dependable, results-driven scheduling partner. ”

“Draper has been an invaluable asset to our organization, assisting Kast with its preconstruction service needs, project strategy, scheduling services and other aspects of our business. Frankly, I’m not sure what we would have done in the absence of having Draper serve as a member of our team. Clearly I would recommend Draper to any firm who is seeking high caliber professional scheduling services.”

“I’ve relied on Draper & Associates for scheduling and project controls for 15 years — both at Morgan Group and at my previous company. Across multiple multi-family developments in Florida and Texas, their CPM schedules are sharp, their critical-path analysis is reliable, and they communicate clearly with both project management and field teams. They’re the kind of partner you want on a complex job.””

“Every project that the Draper system was fully implemented on was delivered on time or early. Every project they were not on or fully implemented those projects did not deliver on time. Financially it is a no brainer when you measure the cost of their services versus the costs of delivering one day late.”

“I’ve been using Draper on all of my projects for the last 3 years. They work with our in-house teams to set up the OPS and then work throughout the project with our team and our Subcontractors to make sure everyone is working efficiently towards meeting the project’s goals. Draper’s scheduling makes it very easy for me to look at a monthly report to quickly know the status of every project I have under construction, and the look-ahead schedules are very easy for everyone in the field to know where they are and where they need to be at any given time.”

“Draper has been an integral part of our team for the last few years. Their schedules are very easy to read and make the field team’s job much easier when scheduling the subs. The bi-weekly meetings are a great tool to use for keeping the subcontractors engaged with the flow of the job. I firmly believe that Draper is one of the most important tools we use in keeping the jobs on schedule.”

As a Senior Project Manager who has worked for both G.C.’s and Owner/Developers, I can unequivocally say that Draper & Associates are a key factor in the success of the Multi-Family Projects I’ve been a part of. These projects range from garden style to high-density wraps, up to high rises.

A project that is scheduled with Draper affords the user the flexibility to present the data to the Subcontractor’s and the Development Team in multiple formats (both overall and near term projections). The schedules are logic-based like primavera and other predecessors, however, they are much more visually appealing and easy to decipher for field personnel. Draper’s hands-on tailored approach lends itself to production in the field, reduces the opportunities for miscommunication, and ensures your project has a strong administrative base to support all functions of the construction process.
