Long Intl Cause-Effect Matrix For Delay-Disruption Claim

This document outlines a typical cause-effect matrix for construction delay and disruption claims. It lists primary causes such as late design drawings, design errors and changes, and owner/engineering problems. The intermediate effects are things like loss of productivity, resequencing work, increased crew sizes, and overtime. The resulting impacts are acceleration, time extensions not approved by the owner, and monetary damages from increased costs.
