Surus Delay Analysis & Construction Claim Professional
Master Delay Analysis, EOT Claims & Construction Dispute Resolution
Develop advanced expertise in analyzing delays, assessing entitlement, and preparing defensible Extension of Time (EOT) claims in complex construction projects.
Course Overview
This advanced training program is designed for professionals involved in planning, project controls, contract management, and dispute resolution in construction and industrial projects.
It provides a structured and practical approach to analyzing delays, assessing entitlement, and preparing Extension of Time (EOT) claims across complex environments such as EPC, infrastructure, oil & gas, and shutdown projects.
Participants will learn how to apply industry-recognized delay analysis methodologies, interpret contractual requirements, and build robust claim narratives supported by schedule analysis and factual evidence.
The program combines technical expertise, contractual insight, and real-world case studies to ensure immediate applicability on live projects.

MODULE 1 — Schedule Delays and Basis of Claims
This module introduces the fundamental concepts of delays in construction and industrial projects. Participants will understand how delays impact project completion, contractual obligations, and claim entitlement.
The module also explains the distinction between delay, disruption, and acceleration, while exploring critical path concepts and ownership of float in scheduling environments.
• Delay vs disruption concepts
• Critical and non-critical delays
• Longest path vs critical path
• Project impact and float ownership
MODULE 2 — Observational Delay Analysis Methods
Participants will explore the most commonly used observational delay analysis methodologies used in construction claims and dispute resolution.
The module focuses on practical application, reliability of records, and the strengths and limitations of each analysis approach.
• As-Planned vs As-Built analysis
• Period analysis techniques
• Contemporaneous analysis methods
• Data validation and reliability
MODULE 3 — Modeled Delay Analysis Methods
This module introduces modeled delay analysis methodologies used to assess the impact of delay events on project completion dates.
Participants will learn how to select and apply the most appropriate methodology depending on project complexity and available records.
• Impacted As-Planned method
• Time Impact Analysis (TIA)
• Collapsed As-Built analysis
• Additive and subtractive approaches
MODULE 4 — Contractual Framework and Event Identification
This module focuses on the contractual principles governing delays and Extension of Time (EOT) entitlement.
Participants will learn how to identify delay events, interpret contractual clauses, and review project records for claim preparation.
• Delay-related contract clauses
• Notice requirements and obligations
• EOT provisions and entitlement
• Delay event classification
MODULE 5 — Chronology Development
Participants will learn how to establish accurate delay chronologies and structure project events in a logical and defensible timeline.
The module emphasizes the importance of project records, correspondence, and factual evidence in delay analysis.
• Building delay event timelines
• Event start and finish analysis
• Linking events to activities
• Structuring factual evidence
MODULE 6 — Impacted Schedule Analysis using Primavera P6
This hands-on module introduces practical delay analysis using Primavera P6 and fragnet integration techniques.
Participants will analyze impacted schedules, identify changes to the longest path, and determine Extension of Time entitlement.
• Primavera P6 delay analysis
• Fragnet development techniques
• Impacted longest path analysis
• Determining EOT entitlement
MODULE 7 — Multi-Window Delay Analysis
This module explains how to perform delay analysis using multiple schedule updates and time windows throughout the project lifecycle.
Participants will evaluate cumulative impacts and consolidate project-wide delay findings.
• Multi-window analysis techniques
• Schedule update evaluation
• Tracking cumulative impacts
• Consolidating delay results
MODULE 8 — Concurrent Delay Analysis
Participants will study concurrent delay situations and understand how concurrency affects entitlement, responsibility, and prolongation costs.
The module includes practical examples and commonly used approaches for concurrency evaluation.
• Concurrent delay principles
• Cause-based vs effect-based methods
• Dominant cause analysis
• Financial implications of concurrency
MODULE 9 — Effective Writing of EOT Claims
This module focuses on preparing professional and defensible Extension of Time claims supported by factual evidence and schedule analysis.
Participants will learn how to structure persuasive narratives and clearly establish cause-and-effect relationships.
• Structuring professional claims
• Writing defensible narratives
• Supporting contractual entitlement
• Presenting delay analysis results
MODULE 10 — Compiling the EOT Claim Package
The final module explains how to compile and present a complete EOT claim package ready for submission and dispute resolution processes.
Participants will integrate schedules, fragnets, supporting evidence, and executive summaries into a professional claim structure.
• Full claim package preparation
• Supporting evidence integration
• Longest path documentation
• Final review and submission
