Weather Delays: How Adverse Weather is Interpreted and Analyzed in the Construction Industry
“Encountering adverse weather on a construction project is no surprise and is even expected — why then is it so difficult for planners and forensic analysts to account for it? What seemed like a straightforward exercise often includes subtleties that introduce additional and unforeseen levels of complexity. This presentation will shed light on how public and private contracts define and address weather, industry standards for planning and accounting for weather, and the analysis of weather ex post facto. The presenters will include case studies and examples to illustrate how project planners and forensic analysts have accounted for weather impacts, both proactively and retrospectively.”
