The commercial problem
Projects often recognise contractual exposure only after delay has accumulated. By then notices may be late, contemporaneous records incomplete, programme updates weak, and employer- and contractor-driven effects mixed together.
Typical scope
- Delay-event and contractual-action register
- Notice-status and deadline monitoring
- Schedule linkage and affected-work-front review
- Contemporaneous evidence-gap identification
- Periodic time-impact / cause-effect support
- Management dashboard of preserved, pending and at-risk items
What this is—and is not
PMDCS provides construction, planning and schedule-based support to strengthen the factual project record and identify potential time/cost exposure. Contractual interpretation or legal opinion, where required, remains with the client's contracts/legal advisers.
Decision objective
Prevent legitimate schedule-related entitlement or defence from being weakened simply because the project recognised the event too late or could not reconstruct the evidence.
