Delay Analysis · Qatar
Delay Analysis Consultant in Qatar
An extension-of-time claim on a Qatar project lives or dies on the delay analysis behind it - and the wrong method applied to your records collapses under challenge. CALIM produces forensic delay analysis for contractors across Qatar from our Doha headquarters.
How CALIM helps contractors in Qatar
- Forensic delay analysis using the method that fits your programme records and the contract
- As-planned vs as-built, window analysis, and time impact analysis aligned to the SCL Protocol
- Isolate critical delay, address concurrency, and link cause to effect defensibly
- Produce delay reports that support an EOT claim or withstand challenge in a dispute
Why delay analysis in Qatar is different
Qatar's fast-tracked FIDIC projects often run with programmes that are not properly updated, which limits which delay analysis methods will actually stand up. We audit your programme evidence first, then apply the method that fits - as-planned vs as-built, windows, or time impact analysis - isolate the critical delay, address concurrency, and produce a report that supports your Clause 20 EOT claim or holds up in QICCA arbitration.
Qatar's construction and energy market runs almost entirely on FIDIC conditions, from Ashghal public works to Qatar Energy upstream and downstream programmes. With the post-World Cup pipeline feeding into Qatar National Vision 2030, contractors are managing large, fast-moving FIDIC contracts where notice discipline and entitlement capture decide margin.
Where a dispute cannot be avoided, matters in Qatar are often resolved through the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC) and QICCA arbitration. CALIM is headquartered in Doha, so you get senior support in your time zone and market.

Which delay analysis method is right for my Qatar project?
It depends on the quality of your programme records and what the contract requires, not on preference. On many Qatar projects the baseline and updates are incomplete, which rules out some methods. We audit the available evidence first and then select an SCL Protocol-recognised method - as-planned vs as-built, window analysis, or time impact analysis - that the records can actually support and that will withstand challenge.
Will the delay report support a FIDIC EOT claim?
Yes. Our delay analysis is built to support a FIDIC extension-of-time claim, establishing the critical delay, the cause-and-effect link to an employer risk event, and the treatment of any concurrency. The report is structured so it strengthens the Clause 20 claim and can withstand scrutiny in Engineer determination, QICCA arbitration, or settlement.
