Decipher Consulting's Podcast

The ever-challenging subject of concurrent delay in construction disputes. Does it exist? Where does it arise and how should it be addressed and analysed? Tom Francis and Andy Dunbar discuss this complex area of construction delay analysis in the latest Decipher podcast. 

We speak to Tom Francis and Andy Dunbar of Decipher Consulting about methods of construction delay analysis. What methods are available for the analysis of delay, and what are the key things that determine the method you choose? Should your analysis be retrospective or prospective? We look at construction contracts and what they say, alnog with an overview of the different methodologies. 

We speak to Tom Francis and Andy Dunbar of Decipher Consulting about construction delay analysis. Who was the first delay analyst?  What is the history of it, what standards are there, and how did we get to the point we now find ourselves at when it comes to analysing delay for construction. 

We join Paul Gibbons, founder and CEO of Decipher Consulting, on the occasion of the firm's 20th birthday, for a look back over the past twenty years, the experiences and changes Paul has seen and a look at what the future might hold. We also ask Paul what advice he might give to people looking to develop a career in the world of construction project consultancy, disputes and the world of expert witnesses. Paul also tells us what advice he'd give his 27 year-old self if he could go back to 2001. 

In this episode, CEO and Managing Director, Paul Gibbons examines what different construction contract forms say about variations. What requirements are there for submitting variations to be assessed and how to ensure you submit the right information. Paul examines any conditions precedent to entitlement that might be required by the FIDIC, JCT or NEC standard forms of contract in relation to variations. 

In this episode, Paul Gibbons of Decipher Consulting looks at why Variations, as a concept in construction, exist. Why do we need them, and what is the purpose of them in construction contracts? 

In the first of a three-part series, Paul Gibbons, our Managing Director takes you through what a variation is, how to identify one, and what a contractor needs to do if a variation arises in this short episode. This is the first instalment of a three-part series exploring variations.

In this episode we find out from Decipher's Nicola Brown what the Investors In People award is all about and what benefits it has for our clients and our team.
