In this report, it will be explain the authority and limitations of the Society of Construction Law Delay and Disruption Protocol, and an analysis of impact on programming techniques.
2. SOCIETY OF CONSTRUCTION LAW DELAY AND DISRUPTION PROTOCOL
The Society of Construction Law has worked to promote for the public benefit education, study ad research in the field of construction law and related subjects in the UK and overseas. The SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol has been prepared for determining extensions of time and compensation for delay and disruption. Published on 2002, it exists to provide guidance to all parties to the construction process when dealing with delay. The Protocol examines the issues of delay and compensation …show more content…
In provision is made, however, is what happens when the parties can not agree on the program. The dispute could be dealt with under the contractual disputes procedures, but in practice, it may be difficult for the project to recover from such an unpromising start. Again, therefore, the success of the Protocol depends on the spirit adopted by the contracting parties.
2.2 AFTER THE EVENT (TIME IMPACT ANALYSIS)
Where the dispute is being dealt with after the event the Protocol’s preferred method of delay analysis is time impact analysis. The Protocol also states that time impact analysis should be used always that the circumstances permit, both for prospective and retrospective analyses.
Time impact analysis involves charting the effect of a delay at the point in time when it occurs, allowing the likely consequences of the event to be determined. Time impact analysis does not affect all of the delaying events into the approved programme, the method takes account of the actual progress before each event and the programme that the contractor intended to follow the event and, as the last delaying event is impacted, an as-built record of the project stretches out behind
