Technical assistance for time claims refers to the analysis and documentation of the impact of events occurring during execution on the project duration. The activity is based on execution schedules, successive updates and the cause-and-effect relationship between events and duration changes, being oriented towards the technical substantiation of time claims.
The identification and classification of delays represents the initial stage of the time analysis and aims to clearly delineate the events that have affected the execution schedule. The process involves analysing the project documentation, successive schedule updates and available historical information, in order to establish the nature of events, the time of their occurrence and their connection to the activities in the programme. The classification of delays is carried out according to criteria relevant to time analysis, forming the methodological basis for subsequent assessments of the impact on duration.
The impact analysis on the execution schedule aims to evaluate the effect of identified delays on the total project duration and on the critical path. This activity is based on the use of established time impact analysis methods, applied to structured and updated execution schedules. The emphasis is on the cause-and-effect relationship between events and the changes occurring in the programme, so that the results of the analysis objectively reflect the influence of delays on project progress.
The reconstruction of schedule development involves a comparative analysis of the initial baseline schedule and the successive updates carried out throughout execution. The purpose of this activity is to highlight how the execution logic, the sequence of activities and the project duration have evolved over time as a result of the events that occurred. The process provides a chronological perspective on schedule changes and ensures traceability between events, decisions and their impact on duration.
Technical documentation for time claims consists of structuring and organising the information needed to support duration analyses, in a coherent and verifiable format. The activity is based on execution schedules, the analyses performed and available historical data, being oriented towards highlighting the cause-and-effect relationship and the impact on duration. The resulting documentation provides the technical support necessary for substantiating time claims and for presenting them within evaluation or negotiation processes.
Graphical and analytical support for negotiations aims to present the results of time analyses in a clear and intelligible manner, through the use of charts, diagrams and technical summaries. These representations facilitate the understanding of the impact of delays on the execution schedule and contribute to effective technical communication between the parties involved. The emphasis is on clarity, coherence and objectivity, so that the information presented supports the negotiation process on a technical basis.
The substantiation of extensions of time involves the technical justification of requests for the prolongation of the contractual duration, based on impact analyses and available documentation. The activity aims to correlate the delay-generating events with the changes occurring in the execution schedule and to evaluate their effect on the contractual duration. The result consists of a structured technical argument that ensures coherence and traceability between events, the programme and the requests for extension of time.
