Construction Scheduling Consultant
Delay Claim Consulting: Total PMO Solutions
When a project gets delayed or pushed beyond scope, recovering your costs often depends on one thing—strong evidence. Total PMO Solutions brings claims consultants to project owners, contractors, and subcontractors across Australia. A well-prepared claim, backed by clear documentation and solid schedule analysis, puts you in control. But a weak one rarely stands up to scrutiny.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience in project planning and controls across oil & gas, utilities, power transmission and generation, and defence, we bring the technical depth and the documentation discipline to support claims that hold up. We offer service that’s documented, defensible, and built to withstand scrutiny.
Your Claims Consulting Expert: Independent, Experienced, Thorough
As your dedicated claims consultant, Total PMO Solutions operates independently of all parties — giving your claim the credibility that only comes from impartial expert analysis.
We can help you assess if a claim is worth pursuing and help your commercial team build compelling claims. We follow the evidence, apply industry-recognised procedures, and generate findings – technically grounded and fully documented.
That independence matters — in negotiation, in dispute resolution, and if the matter ever proceeds to arbitration or litigation.
When the other party appoints their own expert, you want yours to be someone whose methodology cannot be credibly challenged.

Delay and Disruption Analysis: Understanding What Happened and Why
Not every delay is the same, and not every claim is straightforward. As experienced delay analysis consultants in Australia, we apply the right analytical method to the specific facts of your project — whether that is time impact analysis, impacted as-planned, collapsed as-built, window analysis, or another recognised approach. The methodology we select is always appropriate to the available records and defensible under expert scrutiny.
Delay and productivity loss frequently go hand in hand. As a specialist disruption analysis consultant, we quantify the impact of out-of-sequence work, stacking of trades, acceleration, and changed site conditions on your team’s productivity — translating what happened on the ground into a documented, evidence-based assessment of cost and time impact.
What Our Claims Consulting Covers
Our work is tailored to the specifics of each engagement. Typical scope includes:
- Forensic schedule analysis — as-planned vs as-built comparison and delay quantification
- Cause and effect mapping — linking delay events to schedule and cost impact
- Disruption and productivity loss analysis — measured mile, earned value, and resource efficiency methods
- Concurrent delay assessment — identifying and apportioning responsibility where multiple causes overlap
- Third-party review — independent assessment of claims submitted by the other party

Forensic Planning Services: Reconstructing the Programme Record
Effective forensic planning services begin with the records. We work systematically through project schedules, contemporaneous correspondence, progress reports, meeting minutes, and site diaries to reconstruct an accurate picture of how the programme evolved — identifying the causes and timing of delays, when they occurred, and what their downstream effect was on the critical path.
This complex work requires someone who understands both the planning tools and the contractual context in which those tools were used. Total PMO Solutions has that combination — and the experience to know which details matter when a claim is being contested.
Trusted Across Australia's Major Project Sectors
Our claims consulting work spans some of Australia’s most technically demanding project environments. For infrastructure delay analysis in Australia — covering utilities networks, power transmission corridors, water infrastructure, and civil programmes — we bring the same rigour we apply to oil & gas and defence:
- Structured methodology,
- Thorough documentation, and
- Findings that can withstand expert challenge.
Wherever the project is, and whatever the contract forms, the standard we hold ourselves to does not change.
