Explore how HPM Consultants brings clarity to complex scheduling,delay and damages disputes.
HPM Consultants was retained to evaluate schedule delays on the San Francisco Flower Market project and determine the actual causes affecting substantial completion. The assignment focused on analyzing contractor delay claims, critical path activities, and whether alleged delays materially impacted project completion.
HPM Consultants performed a forensic window analysis and schedule review to evaluate delay events across multiple project phases. The assessment examined structural work, MEP rough-ins, power installation, permits, procurement activities, and site improvements to determine their effect on project completion.
While the contractor claimed 246 days of delay and over $5.4 million in compensable damages, HPM Consultants’ analysis determined only 36 non-compensable delay days with no compensable entitlement. The findings established the actual schedule drivers and supported a fact-based assessment of completion delays and liquidated damages exposure.
