(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.
All, reference to the forensic claims analysis, it is known that the main basis of the claims shall be refered to the Contract it self as legally binding by both parties.
I've found some EPC contract (particularly in the Lump Sum type of contract) noted that in the Contract Schedule only attached some milestones and put the Delay Liquidated Damages (LD) on the main Milestones such as : Final Acceptance of the works etc..
The schedule which was attached on the Contract document is only showed the WBS until level 2 (High Level schedule)
(Level 0 - Project, level 1 (E,P,C,I) , Level 2 Contract Object / Unit ).
My question is how deep the appropriate WBS to be putted in to the Contract Schedule (levle 2/ 3 or higher) ?
Thanks in advance for your responses....

Hi Alex
It all depends on whether the Contract Programme is incorporated as a Contract Document.
Usually the Contractor agrees to complete the Works in an agreed period - that is a Contract Term.
Outside of the Contract he then submits a contract programme which describes how the dates are to be met.
It is unusual for the Programme to be incorporated as a Contract Document - if it is then all sorts of contractual shenanigins occur when a change order requires a change in the programme.
Unless your are in the NEC family when changes in the programme are accomodated.
As to the level of detail I would suggest you read some of my earlier threads - search on "Planning Abominations" to get the drift - all submitted programmes should be level 4.
Best regards

Thanks

Hi Alex,
On forensic claims and your subject question, normally you need to proved or demostrate on the programme on how the event or events (if mulitple) has impacted the programme / project completion date or any milestones subject to LDs and this will largely depend on how deep or detailed your approved baseline programme is.
