    EPC Schedule-Risk ROI Calculator

    Estimate the value of avoiding delay days on a large EPC programme using AI-driven risk prediction.

    Quick Answer

    This calculator estimates the value of avoiding schedule delay on an EPC programme, using your own project value, cost per delay day and an assumed reduction. The default reduction is a planning assumption, not an observed benchmark; the real effect depends on data quality in scheduling and progress reporting, and on whether earlier warnings actually change decisions.

    Assumptions

    How This Illustrative Estimate Is Calculated

    • Cost per delay day combines liquidated damages, site overheads, equipment rental, and financing carry. For LNG, power, and refinery EPC, multiply by 2 to 5x.
    • Reduction range assumes integration with Primavera P6, daily progress reports, RFI/NCR logs, and weather data.
    • Savings exclude reputational value and downstream project-pipeline benefits from on-time delivery.

    Direct answers

    Before you rely on this number

    Where does the delay signal actually come from?

    From data you already produce: progress reporting against baseline, procurement and long-lead item status, RFI and change-order volume, subcontractor productivity trends, and document turnaround. The value is in relating them early, not in a new data source.

    Our schedule data is unreliable. Is this still useful?

    It changes what is realistic. If progress reporting is optimistic or updated irregularly, prediction quality follows. In that situation the first useful outcome is often exposing where reported progress and physical progress diverge — valuable, but a different deliverable from delay-day forecasting.

    Who has to act for the saving to materialise?

    An earlier warning only has value if someone can still change the outcome. Before deployment, name who receives the signal, what decision they are authorised to make, and the point beyond which the delay is already locked in by procurement or sequencing.

    Does the cost per delay day include liquidated damages?

    It should include everything that accrues per day of overrun: extended preliminaries, standing plant and labour, financing cost, and contractual LDs where they apply. Using LDs alone typically understates exposure substantially.
