What was at stake.
Asbestos above ceilings, slow infection control approvals and a late fire alarm redesign all hit within the same quarter. The contractor requested a large time extension. The owner needed to know which events actually moved the finish and which were absorbed by float.
What we did.
Beck Franklin's role: time impact analysis. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.
Contemporaneous updates
We used the monthly updates already on record as the basis, so the analysis reflected what the team knew at the time.
Fragnets per event
Each event was modeled as a fragnet and inserted into the update before it, then measured against the driving path.
Concurrency tested
Where owner and contractor delays overlapped, we separated them by floor and by date so each party saw its share.
Plain-language report
The findings went to the owner as a short report with one chart per event and a recommended position.
What the team delivered.
Not every delay moves the finish. The analysis showed which ones did, floor by floor, and that ended the argument.
