Core Project Advisory provides expert advice on schedule risk and delay, including expert opinion, across a wide range of capital works projects, including the construction of high-rise residential and industrial buildings, energy, water and aviation infrastructure.

Our analysis of delay events shows that projects frequently experienced delays due to scope changes, inclement weather and restricted access. However, the most significant impacts on project timelines typically arise from approval delays, groundwater conditions, and other latent site issues.

Our findings highlight the importance of thorough pre-construction planning. This includes well-defined project scope, secured approvals, confirmed site access, and a robust understanding of ground conditions such as groundwater, contamination, soil condition and underground services.

We recommend a peer review of project programs before awarding contracts and commencing works. Core Project Advisory’s independent peer review service is based on established assurance frameworks and provides project teams with advice on schedule integrity, threats, opportunities and issues that can impact schedule certainty.

If delays occur, Core PA can prepare detailed delay analysis, support the development of delay claims, and provide independent expert opinion suitable for negotiations or formal proceedings.
