Lost productivity or loss of productivity is one of the most important causes of construction delays. Thus in analyzing the delay, care should be taken if there is any productivity change. There are various methods offered in construction literature that are considered acceptable for determining the schedule impact resulting from project delays and disruptions. Nevertheless, they do not consider the productivity change over the delayed duration. This may cause a serious dispute to determine who is responsible for the delay, especially for the accumulated delay. As such there is a need to carefully consider the delay components of a claim and how such may need to vary to incorporate those complicating factors like lost productivity. This paper proposes the "accumulated delay analysis method (ADAM)" that can analyze the schedule delay and the concurrent delay by lost productivity using Linear Schedule in construction projects.
