I uncover the causes of project delay for judges, arbitrators, lawyers, and organisations.

Using internationally recognised, peer-reviewed methodologies, I analyse the baseline programme and subsequent updates to determine which activities affected the critical path and contributed to delay. I then investigate the root causes in the project records and by interviewing key project participants.

I am an active member of AACEi, and apply their Recommended Practices, including:

• RP29R-03: Forensic Schedule Analysis
• RP52R-06: Prospective time impact analysis
• RP25R-03: Estimating Lost Labor Productivity in Construction Claims

The results are presented in an Expert Witness Report suitable for arbitration and litigation. My reports are objective, concise and clear.

I am registered as an Expert Witness in the Dutch Register of Court Experts (LRGD).

I support project teams to develop clear and realistic baseline schedules.

A baseline schedule is developed at the start of the project, agreed by the relevant parties and used as the reference to track progress. Working with the project team, I build the baseline schedule and the Basis of Schedule so that the plan is technically correct and fully understood.

Assumptions, estimates, delivery strategy, constraints and risks are made transparent to the team and stakeholders. As a final step, I stress-test the schedule to identify where contingency is needed and where the plan is most vulnerable. The deliverables are a Primavera P6 programme (XER) and a Basis-of-Schedule slide deck.

Shared understandings, fair expectations and transparency throughout the project life cycle.

In a Quantitative Schedule Risk Assessment (QSRA), the impact of risks on the schedule is evaluated. The assessment shows how likely it is that the schedule will be achieved and which factors have the greatest influence on the completion date. I recommend carrying out a QSRA every three to six months on project schedules.

First, I facilitate a risk identification workshop in which the project team identifies and scores risks. Next, those risks are modelled into the schedule. The schedule is then simulated 1,000 times, incorporating uncertainty and risk events, after which the results are analyzed.

The findings are presented in a QSRA slide deck showing the probability of achieving key dates, the events having the greatest impact on the completion date and the critical paths most likely to emerge. The results are supported with practical context that are recognizable to the project team.

Not sure about the quality of your schedule?

Over the past 10 years, I have reviewed thousands of project schedules. My reviews go beyond a standard schedule health check and provide practical insight into schedule quality, key risks, and trends.

The findings are presented in a concise Recommendation Report outlining the pros and cons of accepting the schedule as-is, along with clear, actionable improvements where needed.
