Global Construction Delay and Schedule Expert Analysis Services

CLEAR ANSWERS WHEN PROJECTS FALL BEHIND

Infrastructure projects are complex, and when schedules slip, the impacts can be significant – affecting costs, contracts, and relationships. Rimkus helps clients understand what happened, why it happened, and what it means.

Rimkus has an established record of successfully managing major disputes by providing clients with teams of highly skilled delay and forensic experts. Our professionals, many of whom have served as expert witnesses in prominent dispute centres and courts, assist clients in resolving complex claims through litigation or alternative dispute resolution processes. We operate globally, serving all sectors of infrastructure in partnership with leading law firms, insurers, as well as private and public sector clients.

We provide clear, independent construction delay and schedule analysis by combining experienced delay/scheduling professionals with deep technical and engineering expertise. Our team looks beyond the schedule to identify the real‑world causes behind delays and disruptions. Our forensic engineers determine root cause and origin of why it happened.

By comparing planned schedules to actual project performance and reviewing project records, we identify schedule impacts, quantify delays, and establish clear cause‑and‑effect relationships. Our clients benefit from practical, straightforward insights that support informed decision‑making and dispute resolution.

What sets Rimkus apart is our access to more than 1,000 forensic engineers, scientists, and technical specialists. This allows us to independently evaluate the technical issues related to the root cause and origin that drives the delays. Rimkus can support projects at any stage – before construction begins, while work is underway, or after delays occur – with teams tailored to the specific challenges of each project.


WHAT WE DELIVER

Rimkus offers a fully integrated approach to construction delay matters, bringing together:

  • Schedule and delay analysis
  • Cost and damages support

  • Root cause and origin determination
  • Global reach, specific to the individual stakeholder and regionally specific needs

This combined approach allows us to move beyond identifying delays to providing clear explanations of why they occurred. Our work is practical, objective, and built to stand up under scrutiny — whether the goal is risk mitigation, claim support, or dispute resolution.
