The challenge

Two parties, two accounts, one plant still to finish.

A wastewater treatment plant expansion finished well after its contract date. The contractor said the owner caused the delay; the utility pointed to contractor performance. Each side had schedules that appeared to support its case.

Public money and a working relationship were both at stake, and both sides needed an analysis they could rely on.

Representative engagement. Client identity withheld; specifics anonymised and illustrative.

Our approach

How we changed the outcome

We let the contemporaneous record tell the story, period by period, with every step open to scrutiny.

PHASE 01PHASE 02PHASE 03PHASE 04
PHASE 01Rebuild the record

Schedule updates, daily reports and correspondence were assembled into a verified project history.

PHASE 02Find the critical path

Windows analysis identified the critical path and the delay in each period.

PHASE 03Apportion fairly

Delay, including concurrent delay, was allocated between the parties on stated criteria.

PHASE 04Support settlement

Findings were presented in a form that gave both sides a basis to negotiate.

What changed

The difference we made

The parties moved from fixed positions to a settlement grounded in evidence, without the cost of formal proceedings.

Result 01A method both trusted

An approach both sides could follow, test and accept.

Result 02Delay allocated on facts

Responsibility assigned by evidence rather than assertion.

Result 03Relationship intact

Settlement reached while the parties continued to work together.
