Construction Consulting: Covid-19 Insights
|
|
The Covid-19 pandemic is quite literally the ‘hundred-year storm’ of pandemics, affecting virtually every aspect of life. The construction industry has been no exception. GREYHAWK’s experience with, and on, projects during the pandemic indicates a range of impact – from very minimal to almost complete disruption. In almost all cases, the impact caused both labor inefficiencies and schedule delays. Quantifying impact has been the biggest challenge.
In typical delay and disruption claims, impact is measured through a schedule delay analysis using any one of several prospective or retrospective methods to discretely identify and quantify the impacts. This can be done by careful analysis of an as-built schedule to identify activities or groups of activities that experienced delay; or delays can be modeled using unique schedule activities or fragnets. The global, variable, and dynamic nature of Covid-19’s effects on construction makes it not only impractical, but virtually impossible, to discretely determine the impact attributable solely to the pandemic on any specific activity, area, or type of work at any specific time.
As such, different approaches and methods may have to be mixed and matched for a single comprehensive analysis. For example, a measured mile approach (i.e., comparing the cost of impacted work with the cost to perform similar unimpacted work) may be appropriate for certain activities for which labor and installation rates are available. Industry-specific studies may be required for other types of work on the same project.
Eventually, such analyses will be put to the test in front of judges, juries, or arbitrators who may find favor with one approach over the other. As in all such matters, one should start by choosing a skilled and experienced consultant familiar with the various analytic approaches and their appropriate and correct application.
