Project controls from first programme to final award.

I'm Wan Azri — a project controls consultant and forensic delay analyst with over a decade of experience across the full project lifecycle. From baseline scheduling on day one to forensic analysis in arbitration, I work at the intersection where construction, contracts, and data meet.

What I do

Construction projects live and die by their controls. A well-built schedule, maintained rigorously, protects your programme. A well-documented project, run with discipline, protects your claim. And when things go wrong — as they inevitably do — the quality of your forensic analysis determines how much of your entitlement you recover.

I provide both sides of that equation: project controls consultancy across the full project lifecycle, and specialist forensic delay analysis when disputes arise. The two are not separate disciplines — one builds the record, the other reads it.

Services

Forensic Delay Analysis & Expert Witness Support

When a construction project ends in dispute, the analysis needs to withstand cross-examination by opposing experts and scrutiny from an arbitration tribunal. I conduct forensic delay analysis using Window Analysis methodology — constructing the as-built record, identifying delay events within discrete time windows, attributing responsibility, and quantifying time entitlement with the precision that legal proceedings demand.

I have served as supporting forensic delay analyst and expert witness support across 16 arbitration cases and EOT matters — including the Blackwater Gold Mine (British Columbia, Canada), Sarawak Coastal Road Package 4, Atria Damansara, City of Dreams Penang, and the KTM Double Track Seremban–Gemas railway.

For: Contractors, legal counsel, and project owners in active arbitration, adjudication, or EOT proceedings

EOT Claim Preparation

A well-prepared Extension of Time claim is structured, substantiated, and built to survive scrutiny. I prepare EOT submissions that connect delay events to critical path impact and quantify entitlement with a defensible evidence chain.

Past EOT work: Damansara City Hotel (Daewoo E&C), KL Eco City (Ireka Engineering), Public Bank Tower KL (Daewoo E&C), KLCC District Cooling Centre Phase 2, I-City Central Plaza, ICON City Package 3, and others.

For: Main contractors and subcontractors preparing or defending time claims

Project Scheduling & Programme Management

Project controls done properly — from tender programme through baseline, progress monitoring, recovery scheduling, and final as-built — gives you both a managed project and a protected claim position. I deliver scheduling across all project phases using Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and Synchro 4D, across sectors including infrastructure, high-rise, energy, and civil works.

Portfolio includes: DASH Expressway CA4, Fortescue Decarbonisation Substations (Eliwana, Perth), MRT Multi-Storey Car Parks (Kepong & Cheras), Oxley Tower KL, Sungai Jernih Embankment Dam (RM130M), and Petronas Chemical MTBE Kuantan (4D BIM).

For: Project directors, contractors, and developers requiring structured planning support across any project phase

Project Controls Advisory & PMO Setup

Beyond scheduling, sound project controls means having systems — reporting frameworks, document control discipline, progress measurement, and the earned value visibility that allows project directors to act before problems become disputes. I advise on project controls setup for organisations building this capability, and provide embedded advisory for live projects.

For: Developers and project owners establishing project controls infrastructure from the ground up

4D BIM & Construction Simulation

Construction simulation using Synchro 4D for programme visualisation, logistics planning, and stakeholder communication. Bridges the gap between the schedule and the physical construction sequence.

For: Contractors and developers requiring 4D programme integration on complex builds

Building tools the industry needs

I'm a developer as well as a consultant. The products I'm building come directly from gaps I encounter in project controls practice.

SiteDiary

Live

A construction site diary app designed around the document trail that delay claims depend on. Daily progress records, weather logs, labour and plant tracking, and instructions received — structured for evidentiary value, not just reporting.

AI in Construction Isn’t About New Software; It’s About Removing the Work No One Should Be Doing

A practical perspective on how AI can improve construction productivity without introducing new systems or disrupting existing workflows. This article explores how automating repetitive tasks (such as reporting, RFIs, and progress tracking) can reduce inefficiencies, improve decision-making, and enhance project outcomes by allowing teams to focus on what truly matters.

Why Most Project Management Systems Fail in Construction (And How to Fix It)

A practical perspective on why project management systems fail in construction. This article explores how human behaviour, organisational incentives, and existing workflows shape real-world outcomes, and why aligning systems with how people actually work is more important than adopting advanced tools or technology.

Construction's Real Productivity Problem Isn't Labour

A grounded look at hidden productivity loss in construction projects, highlighting how site teams spend excessive time on manual reporting, coordination, and data handling. This article challenges the assumption that labour is the main issue, showing instead that poor information flow and admin overhead are the real constraints.

Expensive Software Doesn't Fix Broken Habits

A real-world reflection on why construction software adoption often fails despite heavy investment. This article explores how site habits, workflow friction, and human behaviour override system capability, and how the most effective solutions are built by simplifying existing processes rather than replacing them entirely.
