Full profile

Delay analysis under Egyptian contracts

Egyptian projects use FIDIC 1987 and 1999 forms, developer contracts and, on public works, contracts under Law No. 182 of 2018. The Civil Code’s mandatory rules override contract terms that conflict with them, but it says little about claims procedure, so the contract’s notice clauses carry most of the weight. A delay analysis has to show both the critical delay and that the procedure was followed.

Methods we use

• Time impact analysis for a live EOT request, in the latest accepted programme
• Windows analysis with the progress updates, for claims after the event
• As-planned versus as-built where updates were not kept, which is common on villa projects
• Concurrency assessment where the developer argues contractor delay
• Unit and zone analysis on repetitive projects, showing where the delay sits

What you receive

• A delay analysis report with method, critical path and delay per event
• P6 files, a chronology and a records index the Engineer or developer can check
• A review of notices against the contract periods
• An assessment of delay penalty exposure
• Prolongation periods for the additional payment claim
• Report in Arabic or English

Programme records

Many Egyptian projects have weak programme records. We rebuild an as-built programme from daily reports, minutes, inspection requests and correspondence when needed. If the programme itself needs fixing, see Primavera P6 planning in Cairo.

If it becomes a dispute

See construction arbitration support in Cairo, including CRCICA proceedings.
