Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

HI ALL,

SITUATION-I HAVE MADE A CAUSE & IMPACT PROGRAM FOR CLAIMING EXTENSION OF TIME PLUGGING IN 44 DELAY CAUSES FROM THE CLIENT SIDE.OF THIS 22 CAUSES ARE DUE TO CONCRETE DELIVERY DELAYS WHICH IS CLIENT SUPPLIED.

ISSUE-CONCRETE DELIVERY HAS DELAYED FOR MAXIMUM FOR 1 TO 2 DAYS IN INDIVIDUAL CASES.....THAT MEANS TOTAL IMPACT MUST BE 1 OR 2 DAYS ON THE FINISH DATE, FROM CASE TO CASE.

- I MADE THE EOT PROGRAM PLUGGING IN ALL DELAYS, WITH THE CONCRETE ACTUAL DELIVERY DATE AS THE CONSTRAINT.IN THIS CASE,INDIVIDUAL DELIVERY DELAY OF 1 OR 2 DAYS SHOWS A TOTAL IMPACT ON THE FINISH DATE OF 10 TO 20 DAYS, SINCE THE PROJECT WAS ALREADY IN A DELAY...

- IN THIS CASE, HOW CAN I CONVINCE THE CLIENT/ENGINEER, SINCE MY CRITICAL/DRIVING DELAYING EVENT IS THE CONCRETE DELIVERY(LATEST)FOR THE LAST SLAB POURED- IT IS OBVIOUS COZ THAT DATE IS THE LATEST ONE, TAKING IN TO ACCOUNT OF ALL EXISTING DELAYS...

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A SUITABLE FORMAT TO PRESENT THIS CASE, SO THAT WE CAN GRAB THE EOT ...

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR VALUABLE INPUTS,

CHEERS,

FRANCIS VARGHESE

Dear Roger Gibson

From the above reply to Francis

 

Francis,

Have you plugged the ’delays’ into the as planned / baseline programme. If so, this does not demonstrate actual delay. You will have to demonstrate that you were ready to pour the concrete on a certain date, say 1 March, and the concrete was not delivered until 4 March, and therefore 3 days delay. AND that this work activity was on the actual critical path at the time.

I have a question here, first - what is the name of this method of calculating- Inserting delay in The Baseline "As-Planned" Schedule.

Is that a recomended Approach or not?

What would be poosible differences b/w As-Built/TIA and this method( inserting delay in the baseline only).

Please elobrate - if possoble with example.

Regards

Rana

Roger,

I plugged the actual pour dates as the early finish constraint in the program,

And this delay is in the critical path, if you have got a concrete on 1st march that is actually the early start date, when the planned date was 1st of Jan , i.e you are already delayed by 2 months with several other delays as i already mentioned.....

So how can I show in the final completion date as 3 days delay ???????????

Situation-i have made a cause & impact program for claiming extension of time plugging in 44 delay causes from the client side. Of this 22 causes are due to concrete delivery delays which is client supplied.

Issue-concrete delivery has delayed for maximum for 1 to 2 days in individual cases.....that means total impact must be 1 or 2 days on the finish date, from case to case.

- I made the eot program plugging in all delays, with the concrete actual delivery date as the constraint. in this case, individual delivery delay of 1 or 2 days shows a total impact on the finish date of 10 to 20 days, since the project was already in a delay...

- in this case, how can i convince the client/engineer, since my critical/driving delaying event is the concrete delivery(latest)for the last slab poured- it is obvious coz that date is the latest one, taking in to account of all existing delays...

can anyone suggest a suitable format to present this case, so that we can grab the eot ...

Thanks in advance for all your valuable inputs,

cheers,

FRANCIS,

Why are you shouting?

It makes things difficult to read when you have everything in upper case text?
