DELAY COST / FINANCIAL EXPOSURE

What is your delay actually costing?

Four inputs, contract value, days behind plan, critical-path activities slipping, and EOT exposure, combine into a range estimate of what a delay is costing right now. Output splits across the four cost streams a controls team defends in any claim: prolongation, disruption, liquidated damages, and acceleration.

4 cost streams
Prolongation
$-
Extended overhead, site costs, supervision.
Disruption & productivity
$-
Labour productivity loss and trade re-sequencing, typically ~35% of prolongation cost.
Liquidated damages exposure
$-
Liquidated damages, applied at 0.5–1.5% of contract value per week of delay.
Acceleration
$-
Overtime, additional shifts, and extra resources to recover the critical path, 20–50% of prolongation.
Total delay exposure
$-
cumulative across all four streams
Per week of delay
$-
marginal cost of each additional week
Opteam advantage

Detects this 3–6 weeks earlier than your reporting cycle.

  • Flags critical-path deviation before it compounds into a recoverable claim
  • Generates EOT narrative automatically from your live schedule data
  • Gives leadership the time to act, not react

Calibrated against AACE International cost engineering standards and HKA CRUX 2023 global claims data. Output is a range, not an estimate, your real exposure depends on contract terms and current critical-path posture.
