Forensic Scheduling

At DAC Consulting Services, Forensic Scheduling plays a pivotal role in helping clients manage complex project timelines, resolve delays, and mitigate risks. By integrating advanced scheduling techniques with industry-leading expertise, we provide stakeholders with the clarity and insights needed to make informed decisions, optimise project delivery, and address disputes effectively.

What is Forensic Scheduling?

Forensic scheduling is the detailed analysis of project timelines to understand past events, identify critical paths, and evaluate delays or disruptions. At DAC, we apply this expertise not only to resolve disputes but also to proactively assist clients in mitigating potential risks and delays during a project's lifecycle.


Our forensic scheduling expertise supports clients in navigating the intricacies of project planning, delay analysis, and reinstatement.

  • Accelerating repairs to reduce business interruption periods.
  • Performing critical path analysis on reinstatement plans.
  • Supporting DSU claims by providing detailed, evidence-based delay analyses.
