  • Why We Form the Institute

    The Hong Kong Institute of Delay Analysts and Planners was founded in 2024. Our institute emphasizes meticulous construction planning for project success, minimizing delays, managing risks, and ensuring smooth execution. We advocate for robust planning practices to fortify project outcomes and streamline delay analysis. Recognizing the link between effective planning and delay analysis, we empower stakeholders to proactively address challenges. Through comprehensive planning, we aim to prevent delays, enable accurate delay analysis, and empower project stakeholders to navigate challenges with precision.

     

    In dedication to professional growth, we are arranging a series of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions. These sessions will shed light on the interconnectedness between construction planning and delay analysis, stressing the need to incorporate strong planning methods into delay analysis processes. Our aim is to provide industry professionals with the necessary expertise and tools to effectively handle delay challenges.

     

    With the popular use of the NEC and the Security of Payment legislation (SOPL), it is noted that demand for Delay Analysts and Planners are increasing.

     

  • History of Planning

    Things you need to know about planning

    broken image

    According to the book "A Practical Guide to Disruption and Productivity Loss on Construction and Engineering Projects", it was not until the First World War that simple barcharts were used by British army for planning militrary exercises.

     

    Then, some 15 years later, the construction of Empire State Building commenced in 1930. During its construction, it was a marvel of programming excellence, the works were being planned by the chief engineer of the contractor - Andrew Eken. Manhattan was very congested and the material deliveries were carefully planned to coincide with the installation.

     

    Another impress fact of this project is that the building's 56,000 tons of structural steel were erected in 6 months, all this without the aid of a CPM programme or a computer!

    Gantt Chart

    As one of the most common form of visually showing a project, an American engineer - Henry Gantt invented the Gantt Chart which is based on time rather than quantity or volume of the Works.
    In other words, a Gantt Chart is a horizontal bar chart that graphically displays time relationships.

    To the Construction Industry

    In light of the persistent challenges posed by construction delays and claims, our mission is to humbly contribute to positive change and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

     

    The Hong Kong construction industry has encountered various hurdles, including prolonged project timelines and a surge in disputes and claims. These issues have not only posed obstacles to progress but have also had a significant impact on financial outcomes, impacting the industry's overall reputation. Recognizing the need for reform, our institute has been founded with a sincere commitment to promoting proactive measures that prioritize effective planning.

     

    Our primary objective is to cultivate an environment of excellence and innovation in construction projects throughout Hong Kong, with a deep appreciation for the importance of effective planning. Through collaboration with esteemed industry experts, government bodies, and key stakeholders, we aim to develop and promote best practices that ensure meticulous project management, risk mitigation, and streamlined dispute resolution processes.

     

    In addition to our advocacy efforts, we are dedicated to facilitating the exchange of expertise and ideas among professionals in the field. We will organize sessions where relevant professions can come together to share their insights, experiences, and innovative approaches. These ideas exchange sessions will provide a platform for collaboration and learning, enabling participants to broaden their knowledge and enhance their understanding of effective construction planning and claims analysis.

     

    Furthermore, we offer tailored training programs, workshops, and seminars designed to equip professionals involved in construction planning and claims analysis with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of the industry. By nurturing a community of skilled practitioners who value the significance of effective planning, we aspire to elevate industry standards and foster sustainable growth.

     

    We actively seek engagement with relevant authorities, industry associations, and academic institutions to advocate for policy reforms that foster an environment conducive to efficient project delivery. Embracing technological advancements and promoting collaborative approaches, we aim to enhance productivity and drive positive change within the Hong Kong construction industry.

     

    We extend a sincere invitation to all stakeholders, including contractors, project owners, consultants, and legal professionals, to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can overcome the challenges of construction delays and claims, and shape a construction sector that embodies humility, professionalism, and a steadfast commitment to effective planning in Hong Kong.
