Modified Time Impact Analysis Method
Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 138, Issue 2
Abstract
Delay claims are a common occurrence in construction projects. Many techniques have been developed to assess these delays. The time impact technique is the preferred approach for resolving complex disputes that are related to delays and delay compensation. However, this approach is time-consuming and costly to operate. This research proposes a new approach, similar to the time impact technique, which evaluates delay events in chronological order. The details of the modified time impact analysis (MTIA) method are provided, along with one example to demonstrate its advantages. This method is significantly easier to prepare, and the results generated by this new approach are easier to discuss and examine.
