The Fourth Edition of Construction Schedules examines the use of construction schedules in resolving disputes over contract time extensions and the economic consequences of such, and takes an in-depth look at the only lasting opinions that count in this litigious arena. These opinions are the ones expressed by the United States court system and other third party neutrals across the world. Construction schedules are now globally used and analyzed to establish and prove opposing positions when projects are completed later than promised, occurrences that are attributable to a multitude of causes during the construction process. Entitlement to equitable adjustments due to changed conditions is now argued across the globe and American court opinions are the linchpin landmarks for neutral decision makers. The current edition of Construction Schedules reflects the current thinking of the courts and suggests how parties and their attorneys should prepare and proceed in litigation, arbitration, or mediation. For anyone involved or potentially involved in construction schedule litigation and/or dispute resolution, this work is the required starting point and reference.

This book discusses the proper use of construction schedules in the resolution of construction disputes. The work provides a detailed treatment of legal decisions interpreting schedules and schedule clauses.

Construction Scheduling: Preparation, Liability, and Claims, Second Edition, is a valuable resource for those who require a working knowledge of scheduling principles, their implementation under everyday circumstances, and the legal application of those principles. The authors place special emphasis not only on planning and implementing the construction schedule as a management tool, but also on the application of scheduling principles and procedures by the courts and boards of contract appeals. Some of the more salient issues that arise throughout the life of a construction project included in this book are: the drafting of scheduling specifications, identification of accepted and suggested techniques for CPM claims analysis, and an in-depth look at software abuses and alternatives for dispute resolution of claims.
