Chris is a Partner at Tempus Delay Analysis LLP and was one of the key people to set the firm up in 2012, having already worked with Ian for several years previously. With over 19 years of experience in construction delay analysis on claims ranging in size from £1m residential refits to $300m power station disputes, Chris has a detailed knowledge of the techniques and skills required to undertake detailed forensic analysis.  Chris has provided written expert reports for adjudications, arbitrations and dispute resolution boards in both the UK and internationally. He has also given oral evidence in international arbitrations, dispute resolution proceedings and adjudication hearings. In addition to the expert appointments, he has also provided advice on extension of time entitlements and carried out project ‘health checks’ on live projects, advising on potential delays and risks. Chris also been involved in the preparation and negotiation of claims for large EPC projects in Africa and Europe on behalf of a number of European EPC Contractors.

Chris has a wealth of experience in delay analysis on a variety of different projects including renewable energy (all types of solar and wind) in Africa, Middle East and UK, nuclear power (North America), hotel and residential (UK and Middle East), various types of power generation including gas (Far East) and hydro (South America), hydrocarbons (Middle East and Europe) and maritime installations (UK and South America).  Other notable projects include major highway infrastructure projects (UK & Europe) and data storage centres (Europe).

Chris has carried out many different types of delay analysis including as-planned versus as-built and a number of large complex time-impact analyses, both supporting claims for extension of time and defending them. These have been supported by written reports capable of withstanding cross-examination.

In addition to forensic delay analysis, Chris is also familiar with the application of 4D planning which he has successfully used to illustrate critical delay. Chris co-presented the 2017 Practical Scheduling Delay Analysis course hosted by Asta PowerProject and has presented training courses on delay and disruption to clients in Spain.
