It is possible to meet construction claims in all construction projects. Why do Construction Claims occur? Clients, contractors, and subcontractors of this environment try... Continue Reading →
What is Concurrent Delay in Construction Claims? Meaning of concurrent delay (from SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol 2nd Edition) True concurrent delay is the occurrence of two or more delay events at the same time, one an Employer Risk Event, the other a Contractor Risk Event, and the effects of which are felt at the...

This article addresses the concepts of several typical delay analysis methods in construction claims. Why do we need Delay Analysis in Construction Claims? Because The Delay Must Affect The Critical Path The Construction Contracts often state that no adjustment to the critical milestones dates or the scheduled completion dates would be made unless the delay...

In Primavera P6, when we use "longest path" option to determine the critical path, the process to determine the longest path is as follows: The longest path activities are determined by reviewing the schedule backwards (starting from the last activity) through the driving relationships; If the relationship between two activities is driving, then both activities...

Primavera P6 software can be very useful in delay analysis work. Some of the benefits are described as follows. 1. Filter which activity affect the critical milestones There could be many delay events happened in a project and each delay event affects certain activities. What are the delay events or activities impacting the critical milestones?... Continue Reading →
In Primavera we can work with multiple projects at the same time. We have a Program contain 2 projects : Project 1 and Project 2. Each project has its own critical path. And when we open 2 projects, by default Primavera show 2 critical paths. What if we want to show only 1 critical path for the... Continue Reading →
In Primavera, when we use the default filter critical path, it shows only 1 critical path. In a complicated project, we might need to show also a "near critical" path. Let's explore how to do this by the following example project: Press F9 - Click on Option Click on the "Advanced" tab, and check the... Continue Reading →
In Primavera we can define Critial activities by 2 option: There are many reasons why we should choose Longest Path instead of Total Float. One of the reason is that when our project has multiple calendar. We have 4 activities which have same calendar : Standard 5 day workweek. We use Total Float to calculate... Continue Reading →
Oracle Primavera P6 offers two ways to define a critical activity in a project schedule. These are: Total Float less than or equal to [0.0h] Longest Path Which one you use depends on three things. 1. the setting you choose in the Project view’s Settings tab: 2. the setting you choose in the Schedule Options...

In Primavera when we use the default "Critical" filter, it will show the critical path for the whole project (for the last activity). How about if we want to show critical path for an activity which is somewhere in middle of project, not the last one. In this case we can use "Multiple float paths"... Continue Reading →
