Disruption and prolongation claims
Disruption and prolongation analysis grounded in records and measurable impact.
Delay, disruption and prolongation are connected but different. Constructive Advisory helps clients distinguish the time impact on completion from productivity loss and time-related cost, then structure the evidence needed to support or test each part of the case.
Singapore-based. Regionally experienced.
Constructive Advisory provides independent construction claims, delay, programme and dispute support from Singapore for matters across Asia-Pacific and other international regions.
How the service helps
The work is coordinated with quantum, commercial and legal advisers where necessary so that the technical case remains consistent without overstating what programme analysis alone can prove.
Suitable for
- Contractors and subcontractors experiencing changed or inefficient working
- Employers and developers assessing productivity or prolongation claims
- Quantum and delay teams requiring an integrated causation framework
- Legal teams preparing formal submissions
When to engage
Bring structure to the issue before more cost is committed.
- Work continued but productivity materially deteriorated
- Repeated changes, resequencing or access constraints affected efficiency
- A prolongation claim lacks a clear link to compensable delay
- Measured-mile or other productivity analysis is being considered
- Time and cost narratives are inconsistent
Typical scope
A proportionate scope built around the decision.
- Disruption-event and constraint mapping
- Programme, manpower and productivity record review
- Causation framework for loss of productivity
- Measured-mile suitability assessment
- Resequencing, stacking of trades and out-of-sequence work review
- Prolongation-period identification
- Interface with quantum assessment
- Claim or rebuttal narrative development
Outputs and information
Clear deliverables with an auditable evidence trail.
The final deliverables and information request are adjusted to the dispute stage, materiality, available records and agreed programme.

Working approach
Evidence first. Method second. Conclusion last.
Separate the concepts
Define which alleged effects concern completion delay, productivity disruption, prolongation cost or another head of loss.
Identify reliable measures
Assess whether the available records support measured-mile, earned-value, programme-based or other forms of analysis.
Test causation
Connect the alleged events to the affected work, periods, resources and consequences while accounting for competing causes.
Coordinate the case
Align the technical findings with the contractual and quantum analyses without crossing professional boundaries.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before the first discussion.
Is disruption the same as delay?
No. Delay generally concerns time impact, often to a milestone or completion. Disruption concerns loss of productivity or efficiency. A project may suffer one, both or neither, and each requires its own evidence and analysis.
What records are most useful for a disruption claim?
Contemporaneous labour, plant, output, location, progress, instruction, access and daily records are especially valuable. The data must allow affected and unaffected work or periods to be compared reliably.
Can prolongation costs be recovered for every extended period?
Not automatically. The relevant contract, compensable cause, concurrency, mitigation and actual cost evidence must be considered. Time entitlement and cost entitlement may differ.
Do you quantify the monetary claim?
Constructive Advisory focuses on delay, programme, causation and claim strategy. Quantum work can be coordinated with an appropriate quantity-surveying or damages specialist where required.
