How to Perform Schedule Time Impact Analysis in Primavera P6?

Schedule Time Impact Analysis

A Schedule Time Impact Analysis is a method used to determine the extent of impact from potential delay in the construction process. This schedule analysis method involves inserting additional activities indicating delays or changes into an updated schedule representing progress up to the point when a delay event occurred to determine the impact of those delay activities.

Types of Delays

Delays can be categorized into two main areas, Excusable Delays and Non-Executable Delays

Excusable delays occur when the affected party is allowed to claim for a time extension, compensation, or both. Meanwhile, non-excusable delays are delays that the contractor or the affected party needs to bear responsibility for.

Consider a simple project with the “As Planned Schedule”, illustrated below:

First-month update:

There is 21 days delay on Excavation due to an unforeseen site condition.

Third-month update:

There are two concurrent delays: 1- The owner changed the house design (14 days), and 2- Subcontractor left the job (21 days)

Therefore, 14 days are charged to the owner and 7 days are charged to the contractor.

Forth-month update:

The contractor caused a delay in “Garage Walls” but this activity was not on the critical path.

As long as the delay is within available float there is no effect on the final completion date.

Fifth-month update:

The owner caused a 28-day delay in “Garage Doors”.

This delay only affects 7 days in the critical path. The rest of 21 days delay was absorbed by the available float. Therefore, there will be only 7 days of “excusable compensable delay.”

Last month update:

There is no delay this month.

The overall Schedule Time Impact Analysis report is outlined below:

Considering the types of delays experienced throughout the project, there is: 28 days excusable and compensable delay (for time and cost), 14 days time excusable but non-compensable, and 7 days non-excusable time and non-compensable.
