Critical Path Delay Cost Calculator
Critical-path delays cost full daily carry. This calculator sizes the impact.
Total delay cost
$103,133
Carry cost
$49,933
Rent loss
$53,200
How the math works
Total = (daily carry + daily rent loss) × delay days. Critical-path delays hit both lines.
Track critical-path separately from general schedule. A 2-week CP delay can cost $100k+ on mid-size projects. Weekly CPM schedule review with superintendent catches drift before it compounds.
How to Use
- Enter delay days.
- Enter monthly debt service.
- Enter monthly operating carry.
- Enter lost rent per day.
- Read total delay cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's critical path?
The longest sequence of dependent tasks. Delay any critical-path task = whole project delays. Non-critical tasks have float — delays don't push completion.
Float vs critical?
10-30% of tasks on critical path in typical projects. Delays to non-critical tasks ok until they become critical (float consumed). Track both.
Recovering?
Re-sequence where possible. Compress remaining critical-path tasks. Add crews selectively. Some delays can't be recovered (permits, weather, materials).
Who owns this risk — sponsor or lender?
Construction risks are typically shared: hard-cost overrun owned by sponsor (via completion guaranty), soft-cost and delay risks shared per contract, force-majeure excused but bears owner carry cost. Document risk ownership in the loan agreement and GC contract before closing. Disputes get expensive when roles are unclear. Institutional deals spell out every allocation in writing.
