Delay & Forensic Scheduling Services

Forensic Schedule Analysis for Complex Insurance Losses

YA Group provides forensic scheduling services for the global insurance and reinsurance markets, specializing in Builder’s Risk Delay in Start Up (DSU) and Business Interruption (BI) claims, including determination of the “As Was Where Was” restoration period. For large and complex losses, we provide expert opinions on the impact of insured physical damage on project completion or operational readiness, while distinguishing insured delay from pre loss conditions, concurrent noninsured impacts, elected improvements, and recovery inefficiencies.

YA Group addresses these challenges through disciplined forensic schedule analyses that establish clear causation and defensible delay or restoration periods. Our work follows industry accepted methodologies, including AACE recommended practices, ensuring consistency, transparency, and credibility. Combined with our deep engineering and construction expertise, we enable insurers and reinsurers to evaluate claims accurately and confidently, including DSU and BI claims totaling billions of dollars.


Objective Technical Support for Claims Professionals

Objective Technical Support for Claims Professionals

YA Group works closely with claims teams to analyze schedule impacts arising from insured events and to determine reasonable and supportable periods of delay or periods of restoration. A central component of our work in the DSU space is the development and determination of when a project would have complete but-for the loss (commonly referred to as the “But-For” date).

YA Group provides insurers, reinsurers, adjusters, and counsel with well reasoned, unbiased analyses grounded in extensive construction, engineering, and insurance expertise. Using objective methodologies, critical review of project records, and practical project insight, we deliver balanced, transparent, and defensible conclusions that support informed claim evaluation, negotiations, and outcomes.

Specialized Experience in Large, High-Exposure Claims

YA Group delivers delay analysis and forensic scheduling services on some of the world’s largest and most complex builder’s risk and BI claims. We regularly advise on losses exceeding $100 million and have consulted on claims totaling billions of dollars across global insurance and reinsurance markets. These engagements span major loss events affecting largescale industrial, manufacturing, energy, data center, healthcare, transportation, agricultural, and high-rise projects.

We specialize in losses of this scale by combining deep technical expertise, large loss experience, and practical insight into schedule driven DSU and BI exposures. Recognizing the heightened scrutiny and financial implications such claims present, we tailor our analyses to deliver objective, defensible insights that support informed decision making and effective exposure management.
